Hi
I have an old Compaq iPAQ running Pocket PC 3.0.1171 (Which I think is PPC2002, but not sure).
I want to install windows media player on it, but I have lost all my old software archives. I know a version was compatible, as I had used it before, but cannot find anything.
Can anyone help at all?

Full Version: Windows Media Player for Pocket PC
OK, it seems i need the installer for Windows media 8 for PocketPC, which MS are no longer distributing. Great!
If anyone has a copy, please let me know.
If this is in violation of the rules, sorry - but come on!?

As far as I understand, Windows Media Player should come pre-installed on most Pocket PCs. Have you tried a hard-reset of your device (backing it up first of course!) - maybe at some point media player got uninstalled and a hard reset would restore it?
I did find this link on the MS site, it's for an upgrade to WMP on the PPC, but unforunately it needs a previous version already installed to work:
Link to WMP Upgrade
Alternately, if you just want a free media player, I'd really recommend these two (better than WMP!) - I believe they can both run on older devices:
GSPlayer
BetaPlayer
Hope this helps!

Hey, that BetaPlayer really does the job. No real reason to upgrade now
Cool, glad to help! 
yeah. BetaPlayer does the job and a half!
My only wish was that Microsoft Voice Command could be configured to use it instead of WMP. WMP always bogs down my PPC, which is no good. Still, I love to be able to tell my PPC what I want to listen to.
