Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this s***PIECE of a mediaplayer I´m using Windows ME. I have tried to ask microsoft but can´t find any information I think microsoft too, don´t know how to uninstall this s***piece. I have also tried to look for info on WindowsMedia.com but "no cigar". I´m so tired of Microsoft and all their updating hell caused by badly programmed software and second hand programmers. I can only say one thing "MICROSOFT I REALLY HATE YOU AND ALL WHAT YOU STAND FOR".

Well, the easiest and most complete way to remove it would be to restore from the backup of your system that you made before installing a beta version of an OS component.

You did make a backup first like the installation instructions said to? Right?

As always, if you were foolish enough to ignore the warnings in the installation instructions then you deserve whatever happens to you.

With Windows M.E If you want to uninstal Media Player 9 & were previously running an older version of media player, simply do a system restore to a point before you instaled Media Player 9. At least thats what it says on the release notes for Media Player 9.

Such a joyous read..........

NO OS is hack proof.........

Well M$ did it again, I try to play some AVI or Mpegs it will not play them. Kicks up a box said it can't play them but they will play in WinAmp 3x player. M$ Media 9 crap player dose not work with some Pocket PC only work with all the New Pocket PC 2002 and Other Devices that are make by Micro$haft. I got a Rio 600 and it will not work with it. SO I removed M$ Media 9 Crap Player and I also will not run M$N Messange on my system due to Security bug in it plus it will not connect to there server went you login. SO M$ get it fixed or forget it

First, you need to learn to read and write.

Then, you need to actually learn how to think intelligently for a second.

WM9 is in beta, most products don't support it betcause they were made before WM9, and thus, it is impossible to support it.

You won't use MSN Messenger because it has a security hole.... I hate to tell you this, but every application has some security hole in it, it's just a matter of being discovered (AOLIM alone is probably the biggest hole in existance).

Sorry that is the way if feel. I'm mad as hell at them I just lost a Years work and I don't care if it is a beta or not. I beta tested for Windows XP and the team we had came out a told us the truth. Media 9 was release before it such have. Yes there is a lot of bugs in it, There is also some security flaws in it too.

Sorry, I don't think Microsoft would have Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel test their products.

How is it that you could have possibly lost a years worth of work on a product that has been in beta for a matter of months?

Here is our friends web page if anyone is interested:

LOL! :D

Lost years of work? Do you even read license agreements and readme.txts of beta applications? They state clearly and visible that you should NOT install them on production machines. If a beta made you lost lots of data, it's clearly YOUR fault.

this guy (m$Suckss) is so full of bs. any great pirate or/and beta testers will trully have their softs and progs back-up. how strange amateurs thinking they know everything and wantabe IT pro. as to any beta, its always being tested for all different levels including those who are incompetent likem " $Suckss "
. you filled another bug for our programmers
thank you! maca//ack

>>Media 9 was release before it such have

new build works like a charm. even fixed the bug that was keeping me from installing it on my main machine. The bug where the seek bar would stop working on some files, which made it impossible to seek. This is by far the best version of WiMP ever.

if you need ogg support, download the filters here:

as far as the player itself is concerned, I am not going to install the beta. who knows, what happens. I install it, and then win won't start. no, thanx, I wait till the final comes out. esp. because people report that it's still slow. so what would I win? player 7 was slow on win98, 8 was slow on winxp, and 9 is slow too. these ph***ing players need 10 seconds to start and eat up all resources of my computer, my apache and IIS servers together need less resources. MS thinks we all have pentium 4 processors with 512 mbs ram. no, we don't. not everybody got as much money as Billy. Maybe Gates should test his player on an old computer so that he sees how damn slow it is

Takes exactly 2 seconds to start and be ready here.

Opens up in just a few seconds for me as well @ 400 mhtz and 384 megs RAM. You can't beat the ease and convenience of the playlists and menus on WMP which is why a MS hater like me still uses it as my default media player. The seek bar thing is definitely fixed now, but for some reason when I play an album or playlist it won't automatically go to the next song when one is done without a lot of fussing around. Also, it takes foreeeeveeeeer to add songs to the library, and if I want to add a folder I'd better make sure I don't need my computer for the next ten minutes. Don't know where this problem came from, since it wasn't there in previous betas. Still a fine program but still much buggier than previous WMPs. And no, you still can't uninstall it - you have to use system restore.

This is still bloated as hell. Loads slowly and works slowly and uses too much resources. And it still looks ugly. They still don't support Ogg Vorbis which is the real future audio format. Back to Winamp 2.x and ZoomPlayer/BSPlayer.

I agree with you that ogg is the future of the music ! i prefer my old Mplay 6.4 with a lot of codes :)

Bloated implies that it's large without substance. That's not the case at all. I have over 60 gigs of music online which is about 1000 albums by almost 200 artists. No other player has a media library that works as good as wmp. Crative's PlayCenter 3.0 is good, but still doesn't work as easily and quick as wmp.

Winamp was a good player like 2 years ago. It's the AOL of media players, both in ownership and everyother sense.

Who cares about resources, 256MB of DDR is like 45$. (pricewatch.com).

Slow? What in thee blue hell are you talking about?

5 seconds to launch on a Pentium 2 350Mhz PC with 512 MB Ram. Gee, yeah, that's really slow.

Compare it to 15 seconds on Winamp3 on the same PC.

Compare it to 6 seconds for Winamp2 on the same PC.

Damn man, it ain't slow unless you're using a 486.

Athlon 1.1 with 448 ram....loads in 3-5 seconds takes up less than 10 megs of ram typically (this is with a music library of 1015 songs). converts my mp3 files to wma when I transfer then to my nomad 2 beautifully. I have yet to try ogg but the new wma variable codec (with DRM turned off) is very impressive. Sill amazes me that a beta like this is still better than a final winamp 3 (don't gimme that BS of still evolving 3 years should have been enough for a stable app.

OGG IS FUTURE THE MUSIC FORMAT FOR WORLD! ALIENZ TOLD SO TO ME! BILL GATESH MAKES THE SATAN FOR ALL! IS TO BE THE BAD!

does it include a real uninstaller yet?

so I don't know if the XP version is up to date, but the other one apparently isn't.

when will betanews carry the new windows media bulid 2903 or where do you go to get this new bilid ?

Search www.filemirrors.com for keywords..
for example search for "CONTAINS" 2903

might find what your looking for :)

thanks for the info. I found quite a few results from Fileforum.
