Silver Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 913 Registered: Sep-04 | Don't really want to change it then, because your going to undo everything you've done from then to now. Kinda. But some programs might get uninstalled and stuff. Its just weird, like the icons will still be there but the program won't run. Try downloading windows M/9. |

Silver Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 914 Registered: Sep-04 | when I mean progrms get uninstalled, its like,if you installed anything between that time to now those programs, not the programs before windows 11. And I meant try downloading WM10 not 9. Its possible. I think it happened to me once when I did a restore to far, it helped but at the sametime messed some things up. |

Silver Member Username: BernymacAQ HD3!!, CA United States Post Number: 915 Registered: Sep-04 | try to see if you can restore to that point (1 year ago) and if things get to messed up, restore your computer back to "today" you can go back and forth no problem. |

Everytime you install a program windows gereates a "checkpoint" that you can restore back to in case of problems. Bummer is those checkpoints use up hard drive space and windows only allocates so much space for it. If you install alot, chances are you will only be able to go back maybe a couple of months. I keep ignoring my comp everytime it prompts me to make back up disks, something that will bite me the future for sure. |

I would search the system registry then delete all threads that have windows media player 11 anywhere u see it, after doing a search of all strings.... if u dont know how to use regedit... then forget everything i said.. lol |
