Windows MP 10b

I downloaded windows media player 10b from microsoft. I now cant uninstall it. Its driving me insane. There is no uninstall option. You cant fool it and try to install WMP9 as it says a later version is already installed. You cant uninstall it as it just doesnt leave!

I cant find help on the website. I suppose it is my fault for downloading a beta testing version with bugs. But still

ANY Ideas? I have tried everything within my abilities. Im on XP Pro.

(And yes I have tried system restores. Infact, it doesnt work at all! I am sure that would help, so as a second question...why does my system restore not work!!)..

use System Restore tool. (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.) Select the restore points till you find the one where it was installed, then roll back to the one before it.

I mentioned I had tried that, and it did not work.

I have found a patch online and someone told me a line to type in the start-->run box and it deleted everything to do with WMP and now I can start again, and install WMP 9 instead of 10.

Thanks, Dan

Dan,

M$ had the same kind of problems when WMP9 was still in beta too.

Take Care,
