Media Player 10

Wed Dec 15, 2004 8:57 pm

media Player 10 totally f'ed up my system, I can't uninstall or re install it. My old media player still works ok but anyone know any other players I can use to view video files other than media player?

Some of the new vids I get wont play in media player 9 or winamp player.

Try Quicktime or Realplayer. You can get free versions of both.

I use Winamp 5

Also if you have a vid that isn't playing make sure you have the DIVX codec installed.

google divx for the free codec.

Are you running XP? Could you back up to a restore point prior to WMP 10?

Yeah, make sure you have the proper codec for the video.

remove the registry files for windows media. google it. i dont really know if thats safe but whatever. you can prolly reinstall from there. either that or just make sure it isnt running on startup, reboot, and try from there.

Stick with version 9 if possible.

I tried version 10 a couple of months ago and I had problems as well.

the only problem I have with version 10 is that it sometimes when I want to watch a movie it runs the music, but not the images.
Had no problem with (un)install....for now.

idk what would be causing that.
the only think i notice is that windows media apparently run some types of media files. i cant tell you what those are because i cant remember but i came across one the other day.

That is a good thing, because I know allot of music videos people make, I don't hazve the codec for, it goes ahead and plays the audio without a warning message popup.

If you want to get the codec it should run perfectly.
(Never had a problem with WMP10, I liked itmore than WMP9)

I use mp10 everyday. I like the auto playlist function as you can listen to podcasts with mp10. I would suggest codec's first.
