re: Uninstall Windows Media Player from XP Sunday, October 20, 2002 at 5:23 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Black_Venom (2 messages posted) Hey, going into safemode allowed me to delete the files in the folder without them coming back, that's great. But now I can't install Mplayer7.1 because somewhere it's recorded that I've got Mplayer9 components installed, I have no idea where this is in the registroy or any files which may contain that information, anyone know? Microsoft's pretty smart, tricking us with Mplayer9 like this. But I'm sure all the kids out there who just play around with programming will be on top of microsoft, they always are. ;o) On Friday, October 18, 2002 at 10:36 am, Harpo wrote: >Agreed, I have found that using the add/remove windows components to remove windows >media player beta 9 from an XP set-up will not work.
