[snakelegs]

i'm pretty sure i know the answer to this, but just in case.....(i can dream)
is it possible to get rid of windows media player 11 and go back to 10, when you have vista? like uninstall it and download version 10?

I'm not sure whats wrong with snakelegs' but mine wouldn't play audio to mp4 files

only thing mine did not play was realmedia

mine is set to download codecs automatically if and when it needs any.

That must be annoying! :-\ Mine seems to work ok can't it be reinstalled?

My one sometimes doesn't even play MP3 files...And not just any MP3 files, my entire collection of SS(HA)'s Recitations! THE ENTIRE QURAN BY SS!!

all mp3 are not encoded by same encoders that means you will let it download a few different decoders

because it doesn't play a lot of the files that version 10 does!:raging:

 

[NoName55]

it could not find any codecs...How Microsoft of them

thanks, NoName! :sunny: maybe i will be able to live with it after all.

 

[NoName55]

I take that back

you can keep it as I am in no serious need of it

I applied all codecs, and it still didnt work

how do we know it is your mp3 file is broken

 

[NoName55]

wasalam

 

[snakelegs]

i downloaded it but haven't run it yet because i got intimidated about uninstalling other things. so i will wait for final verdict from iqram!
btw NoName, do you have anything good to say about vista? if there is something great about it, i don't know enough about computers to be able to recognize it.

 

[snakelegs]

well, i know you are a follower of the Nuke Microsoft Now School of thought and you know more about all this stuff than i do.
is it safe to uninstall all the stuff they want you to?

 

[snakelegs]

yes, it wanted to uninstall real player and it wanted to uninstall DivX and i didn't get any further cuz i worried that i might end up with bigger problems.
i understand why it wants to do this stuff, but i am afraid to let it.
vista is a big enough headache as it is!
what i really want to do is uninstall windows media player 11 and download version 10. but i am guessing that vista wouldn't stand for it - is that right?
don't want it to explode or something!

 

[snakelegs]

i'm all for it but..........
what if they decide to take revenge????? :scared:

 

[snakelegs]

true say. (sigh) we are doomed from the start. :rollseyes

it uninstalls realmedia and divx from different folders only to re-install them all in its own folder. then afterwards you may install the standalone version again (you can just say no to those 2 and carry on to the end)

thanks, NoName. i am still thinking about this because i am easily intimidated by computer stuff. but if it's perfectly ok to re-install all those programs, that shouldn't be a problem.

is it not possible to uninstall windows media player 11 and download media player 10 if you have vista?

iqram, when you re-installed the real player, was it a Big Deal with vista or did it go smoothely? (how did you survive it? )
another thought - if first you dragged those programs to an external hard drive, would it be easier to just put them back than to try to download the programs again?
