I installed Windows media player 11, how do I go back to WMP 10 ? - GoFuckYourself.com

I got a new pc, how do I get windows media player 10 on it? WMP 11 is lame. Actually, I can get WMP 10 on it, but it doesnt have any updates so it doesn't play a lot of new shit. How do I update it, without upgrading to WMP 11?

From what I know you can`t go back to an older version. If you have a previous version of you Windows saved ... with Norton Ghost or similar programs,load it and you`ll have your Media Player 10 back !

Media player classic is still the best

Bsplayer
VLC

VLC is the way to go

That is what is fucked up with MS.
I did the same with Outlook 2007, but it loads slow as fuck, and takes up too much processor.
CAN"T go back to 2003, no matter how many uninstalls, and scrubs I do.
It just wont work. So I am stuck with the beta of 2007.
Gates sucks ass on that shit.
It makes you scared to update anything.

no probs with outlook 2007 - a little slower when fetching mails, but waaaay faster search function. and some other improvements like picture preview. i like it

I made the same damn mistake by upgrading too

rowan · 03-07-2007, 08:41 PM

I've run into the same prob, I had to reinstall 'doze from scratch which meant a default install of WMP9; I had previously been using WMP10. The only option offered by Windows Update was WMP11, and it didn't take me long to conclude that it blows. Totally.

You can still download WMP10 and some earlier versions here:

Should be able to go to the control panel (assuming XP or XP Pro) - remove programs - remove WM - then D/L WM10 and install it

If your computer has that new Op sys that MS came out with - youre fucked

See above for what happened when I tried that. I'm using XP Home OEM SP2. I wonder if uninstalling SP2 would allow me to install WMP10...... and whether I can be bothered.

rowan · 03-07-2007, 09:06 PM

Update... as well as WMP11 there's also a "Windows Media Runtime 11" which I hadn't noticed. Once this was uninstalled, I was able to install WMP10. It's good to be back.

Linkster · 03-07-2007, 09:07 PM

looks like it left some registry entries for WM 11 somewhere
