Windows Media player 11 suckage

[Juddog]

I tried to run add / remove from control panel, clicked on windows media player 11, choose remove, says it's removed with a finish button. I click finish, it's still there. I rebooted, tried to remove the windows media player 11 runtime, I get an error message that program dependencies are blocking the uninstallation.

I have removed every hotfix associated with WMP in updates, same thing. I even tried to remove both in safe mode, and it fails.

I cannot for the life of me get rid of this WMP11! I just want version 9 or 10 back, anybody ever heard of this?

use CCleaner. but why do you want to get rid of it?

Try downloading the WMP 10 setup file and just installing it over the remnants of ver. 11

Windows Media Player classic FTW

I went through the same hoops a few months back. WMP11 does not handle SoundMax drivers for MIDI very well, and I had to put WMP 10 back in. It was a matter of uninstalling 11 and then installing 10. CCleaner will certainly help and you can also use System Restore to go back to a date before you installed 11.
