How do you delete Media Player
Can someone please tell me how is it possible to completly delete Windows
Media Player 9 from Windows 98SE ? Evidently because it is loaded on my computer, the installation wizard for Nero 7 ultra refuses to load INCD 5. It has something to do with a driver used by Windows Media player on bootup will conflict with a driver required for INCD to be installed. If there is no way to delete Windows Media Player 9, is there a way to delete the offending driver that Windows Media player seems to think that it needs to load on bootup. I really don't care about Windows Media Player anymore because I have Creative's Play Center which is far superior to the Windows Media Player. |

Windows Media Player 9 Series will be removed. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...x#removeplayer However, I cannot guarantee if you do that possibly it won't inadvertently break your current player, which may cause you to reinstall that current player; which is I think you're saying Creative's Play Center thingy, or whatever else is an unknown...

Dont Use Incd
packet writing software is extremely unreliable, cds written with packet writing software often cannot be read on another pc, with the same software, or on the same pc with a reinstalled software after a crash.

That sounds the Adaptec (Roxio) CD Burning Plug-in that was installed during the WMP

That Adaptec fix though Glen is specifically for EasyCDCreator (now called EasyMediaCreator) made by Roxio, but InCD is made by NERO and so in this case that would not be the problem.

A: InCD 2.x makes the Adaptec/Roxio plug-in unhappy. Remove the Adaptec plug-in, remove InCD 2.x, or upgrade to InCD 3.x. ...and at the link you posted, to another link, shows how to uninstall it. a link on how to *remove* it.
