How odd. Not in 'Add or Remove'?

I downloaded and installed WMP 10 today, but then had problems with it not letting go of the DVD in File Types (no matter how many times I unchecked | Apply) so I decided to cut my losses and return to WMP 9.

WMP was in 'Add or Remove' so I used that, but then I also used System Restore to before the installation. I used the morning's System Checkpoint, but WMP also set one before its installation.

I wonder if just a straightforward System Restore would work? Always the danger of little bits not letting go, but...?

couldn't you just download 9 and install over 10?

No.

You don't need to reinstall WMP9 either - as part of WMP10's rollback, it automatically reconfigures your previous version of WMP (WMP9 or WMP8) correctly for you. As noted in the thread already, the rollback is indeed there and should work fine. It's just under "Show Updates" in XPSP2 in the Add/Remove Program control panel.

Way to roll your eyes when you were wrong

Uh, no, rather, you've been "owned".

Reinstalling Service Pack 2 DOES revert back to WMP9. There are other options, however.

Who was "owned" now? :rolleyes:

Nice try, but stick with pushing kids into lockers at your junior high.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
