??Where to dl windows media player (old version)??

[NewCompGeek]

by the old version i mean not the new one where it makes it look at fancy and hard to use.

i like the old one that was boxey(cant describe it better than that) and not round like the 7.0 i think

You can always change the skin.

Try looking on microsofts site. I think it is still the latest one for NT4, but I am not sure. 6.1 or 6.24 or something like that.

>i didnt uninstall version 7.0

It's doesn't matter, even if it says that it's 6.4 it still uses the v7 engine. for you to have the v6.4 engine I think you need IE5 or earlier. IE5.5 or later will install the v7 engine wether you want to or not.

there is always a media player 6.4 (boxey one) included in windows. goto start->run->type "mplayer2" without quotes and there you go. i think it is in windows\system32 dir so if you wanna make a shortcut and use that as primary media player...

You dont have to uninstall the new version of WMP. If all you like the look of the old player, just type "mplayer2" at the Run prompt.

Set your mpeg files to use mplayer2.exe as default application, and you're all set.

I hate the look of the new media player too...

yeah i did do it from run but everytime i want to watch a video online is ask me if i want to download it.

It never did that before.. is there something that i can download so that it wont happen anymore?
