Good luck - my personal preference is to download this sort of thing for
offline install - disconnect, and then disable firewalls, AV, etc.. - and
then do the install.

Thanks Noel.
Looks like I shouldn't have any problem

For the vast majority of people, there's no problem in
upgrading WMP to v9 -
it's only usually a problem if either

1 ) you have Norton AV installed and running during the
install
2) you have Symantec software installed
3) you have malware/viruses present on your PC
4) you don't follow the instructions
5) you disable System Restore, or have it switched off,
or the space
available is not enough.

Boy am I glad I read these things! I was going to update
my WMP (on ME)!
Thanks Mike for the heads up!

Ray,

You will need to use System Restore to roll your system
back to the state
it was in before you installed WMP9. WMP8 is for XP and
I don't believe
it can be installed on Win Me.

Please someone tell me how to get rid of windows media
player 9. I had
version 8 installed and never had a problem. I
recently
upgraded to
version 9, big mistake. Now it locks up and plays
whenever it wants
to. I can see no advantage , can't believe why I
didn't
leave well
enough alone. Now I can't find an uninstaller for what
I installed. I
have version 8 on cd, so if you can direct me how to
uninstall 9 I
would be ever grateful. thank-you
