    Removing WMP10

    I was going to install WMP9 on my dad's new laptop, as 10 sucks. But, you can't remove 10 as "it comes bundled with Windows". Is there a way to manually kill it?

    When did WM10 come bundled? I thought that was an optional download. There is some uninstall info midway on this page.

      durn good find!
      If you have installed Windows Media Player 10, you can roll back to the version of the Player that was on your computer before installing Windows Media Player 10.
      To roll back from Windows Media Player 10 to a previous version, do the following:
      In Control Panel (Category View), click Add or Remove Programs.
      Click Remove a program, and then do one of the following:
      If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, select the Show updates check box (at the top of the list), click Windows Media Player 10 (in the Windows Updates section), and then click Change/Remove.
      - or -
      If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 or earlier, click Windows Media Player 10, and then click Change/Remove.

        @Chewy, I did not install it. It now comes with computers. So rolling back will do nothing.

            How much do you want to bet that it came with WMP10?

            Seriously, go to any computer store, look at the new PCs. They all have WMP10 by default.

              I find it hard to believe that XP comes with 10 instead of 9 now. When did this start happening?

                No idea, but the fact that Windows no longer lets you get WMP9 for XP says a lot too. Want a picture of WMP10 with the one-week old laptop?

                    I have the same as chewy.

                      How old is your PC?

                      The laptop is like a week old. See, I doubt most of you have new PCs like that, so that's why. My mom's HP (6 months old) has 9 on it.

                      I should start an Anti-WMP10 petition and send it to Microsoft. WMP10 sucks, so I am serving the WMP9 XP installer around the Net for anyone who wants it (PM me)

                        My laptop is only six months old so it must be a new thing if it does come with WMP10 now.

                          So is my mom's PC.

                          But yes, it's new. Like I said, at any computer store, all the PCs now will have WMP10 (check it out!)
