won't do any harm, you might reinstall it at a later time if you want.

I think that you will find that the other Media Players are still in your system.
I have 98se and I have all of them. You can use whichever one you want as the default
player. I use mplayer.exe for checking wav files and mplayer2 for other things. You
are not the first person to have trouble with 7.1.

Uninstalling 7.1 won't affect default media player. I
did it om my Dads PC.
