Have you make a Restore point before you install Windows Media Player 9.0 series? If you do just restore it. Well, some of the web site doesn't support the 9.0 version of WMP. Therefore, sometimes you could not streaming video or simply watch a video clip.

WMP 9.0 is still in beta testing, until M$ release the Offical Release Version of WMP 9.0, not all of the web site support the 9.0 version.

(Did I repeat myself?)

Have a nice day!!!

well i installed this a long time ago, and it still isnt working. If i do a system restore... will that make me loose everything i have added/chaged since then?! is there any other way?! this sux.

System Restore restores your system configuration/registry, but nothing else. I've not found it to be a destructive process at all. Files you've downloaded/added/saved will stay the same.

**nolekid86** · 11-26-2002, 10:57 PM

what if ive installed a program/game that made chages to the registry?

**KommisMar** · 11-26-2002, 11:38 PM

Then I'd think those changes would be lost. Anyone?

Oh, well I opened up WMP 9.0 beta the other day and it came up asking me if I wanted to download the final release. I'm pretty sure it was the final release anyway

. Try running windows update.

**nolekid86** · 11-27-2002, 03:49 PM

no luck with windows update. i also tried the update checker in the player. It didnt find any updates.

in the run box type mplayer 2 and it will give you the old one

**chris54** · 11-27-2002, 11:52 PM

Has anyone one else updated to WMP 9.0 FINAL? I'm sure it was the final that I downloaded.

I tried that, and i associated it with all the files, but it STILL OPENS WITH WM9!!

I guess the only solution is to wait fot wm9 FINAL. This sux.
