re: Uninstall Windows Media Player from XP Saturday, July 9, 2005 at 4:49 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by edie (2 messages posted) After searching the web all over the place for this, was trying to undo a screwed up install of wmp10 that refused to let me rollback or uninstall, I was able to rollback to windows media player 9 with ccleaner, like someone upthread suggested. Download and install ccleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com Restart in safe mode. After installing ccleaner, do a search for "wmp" in C:\Windows, make sure "search hidden files and folders" is checked in "more advanced options". Right click and "erase" the files wmp.dll, wmp.ocx, wmpasf.dll, wmpcd.dll, wmpcore.dll, wmpdxm.dll, wmploc.dll, wmpshell.dll, wmpui.dll. You will get Windows file warnings, just click cancel and yes each time. 2 of these files may not delete and that's fine. Go to C:\Program Files and delete the windows media player folder. Now try installing the older version of windows. This will not uninstall windows media player 10 but it will let you install an older version of windows media player.
