On my Windows 2000 server, I've left Windows Media Player at version 6.4 and installed
Windows
Media Lite along with the WMP9
codecs for WMP 6.4 and the KLite
Codec Pack.
I haven't had any problems. The server's got all kinds (and ages) of .mpg/.wmv/.avi/
files on it, and I've watched streaming WMP9 videos on Firefox 2.
Once catch is, is that you'd be best off running Windows Media Lite with a fresh
install of Win2K that's left at WMP 6.4, specifically to use Windows Media Lite.
WMP 9 is far more of a headache with Windows 98/ME! I do, however, hate WMP 9's clumsy
"integration" into the Explorer shell with associated file types in Win2K...
