I didn't even know I had the beta version installed. I'm constantly getting errors when trying to run WMP files. "Error downloading codec" is the most often alert.

I used this as a guide for uninstalling WMP 10:

WARNING: Make a backup copy of the registry before attempting to uninstall media player 10 beta! Make a copy by selecting: Registry / Export Registry, save it on your Desktop.

* Click the START button and select Run.
* Type in: regedit in the command box.
* When the regedit window appears, expand the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE by clicking on the plus sign to its right.
* Now Click on the plus next to SOFTWARE, then MICROSOFT, then WINDOWS, then CURRENT VERSION and finally UNINSTALL
* When you expand the Uninstall folder, you'll see all the programs currently installed, such as the uninstall Media Player 10 or Media Player, etc.
* Click on the folder you want to uninstall, in the box on the right you will see two strings:
* DisplayName and UninstallString.
* Double click UninstallString and a box will appear with the uninstall string highlighted.
* Right click on the highlighted entry and select COPY.
* Close the Regedit window.
* Select the START button and click RUN.
* Right click inside the command box and paste the uninstall string and click OK to uninstall Media Player 10 beta.

You will use this procedure only when the option to uninstall media player 10 beta, 10, 9, or others are not listed in the add / remove programs under the control panel.


But it didn't uninstall, it just rolled back. By rollback, I literally mean the program said rolling back wmp, please wait.

What the hell?


WMP was still listed in programs, and whenever I try to delete it it just reappears. Wtf?!
I'm quite certain WMP 10 beta is still being ran because I'm still getting the download error codec even after the rollback.



Does anyone know how to uninstall this program? If I install windows media play 8 or 9 will that overwrite my WMP 10?

Try removing it from the Windows Add/Removed Components part of the Add/Remove Program applet?

I just reformatted 3 weeks ago, and it took 3 weeks to get my computer working again.
Windows is preloaded so it's a b*tch to reinstall.

I have formated my comp 1 times this year because i was doing a upgrade of my GPU , CPU , Mobo and adding a new HDD in Raid 5. I have had no problem like alot of people bitch about. Have an Antivirus scanner like Trend Micro , install a firewall like zone alarm , install a adware dector like Doctor Spyware and use Ophra or Firefox 🙁
