Hi 3nigma,

As long as the "$NtUninstallwmp11$" hasn't been deleted from your computer, you should be able to safely remove WMP11. Follow these instructions, in this order only:

- In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program.
- At the top of the list, select the "Show updates" check box.
- In the "Windows XP - Software Updates section", click "Windows Media Player 11", and then click Change/Remove.
- In each of the two confirmation dialog boxes that appear, click OK.
- When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Restart.

After Reboot
- In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program again.
- At the top of the list, select the "Show updates" check box.
- In the Windows XP - Software Updates section, click "Windows Media Format 11 Runtime", and then click Change/Remove.
- In the first confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK, and then OK again to confirm rollback.
- When the rollback process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Restart.

After Reboot
- In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a program for the last time.
- Click "Microsoft User-Mode Driver Frameworks Feature Pack 1.0", and then click Remove.
- Follow the instructions that appear in the Software Update Removal Wizard. If the Wudf01000 confirmation dialog box appears, click Yes to continue. When the software removal process is complete (it might take several minutes to complete), click Finish.

thank you for your quick reply..

but I did all that i have wmp10 has problems so i need to unistall / reinstall now in the add remove programs dont have any option to remove wmp10 no even wmp 11, no more updates to uninstall.. when i try to install wmp10 it says "a more recent version of windows media player is already installed" even when i have wmp10 runnin.

how to unistall / reinstall wmp10?

You won't be able to uninstall WMP10 is your PC was pre-installed with this version on. What problems are you currently having with 10?

well the main problem is i dont have a preview of a video when im using windows explorer as a thumbnail like a pic when using windows explorer - views - thumbnails you can see the pic without double click, i was able to see the first frame of the video , well after installing wmp11 I lost that, ( i lost the plugins for my browsers, Opera and firefox, actually i guess wmp11 does not use plugins for browser? am I wrong, well 4 those problems roll back to wmp10)

Hi 3nigma, sorry for the late reply, can you download the codecs for WMP from here: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo.../WM9Codecs.exe
