I tried that, and I can’t find the Windows icon thing in the folder. What can I do about that?

Um. Hate to be a bother, but can you do a guide on the uninstall of WMP on Windows 7? I recently started having problems with my WMP – it won’t play any of my music! This is not a new computer person (me) lol nor a newer computer, its about 1 year old. And JUST recently it started to do this. So I thought what I would do or try to do is uninstall WMP and reinstall it to see if that changed or helped anything.

As soon as Windows Live Essentials was put on my computer by Windows, I started having problems. It wiped
out all my E-Mails & Power Point Slide Shows I had saved. I got some back by changing propeties on the new Windows Live E-Mail Program. Couldn’t change the properties in the older Windows E-Mail program; therefore, I lost all those E-mails stored on that program. I had been gradually e-mailing them to myself in the Windows Live E-Mail program and saving them there.
But, I didn’t get 1/3 of them. I am disappointed because some I lost were ‘special’. Then Windows Live
Media Program started giving a message, “Server Execution Failed”. I would try to play the music later and it would work. Well, today it will not play at any time and gives the same message. I certainly pray this will work and I can uninstall Media Player and then reinstall it. I’m wondering if I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials, I may get my E-Mails back or either cause my computer to crash.

My previous remarks are directed to those with XP OS and who have been unsuccessful in “rolling back” WMP11 using the Add/Remove Programs facility in Control Panel. If you have tried this approach repeatedly and nothing happens, it is because the 2 $$uninstall…$$ folders related to WMP11 and WMP11 Runtime are missing. (See other comments on the first several pages of this thread for the exact uninstall folder names.) If you have Vista, put your computer back in the box in came in and return it to your retailer. Be thankful you don’t waste another day of your life with that pitiful OS.

OK. For those of you who have used a hard drive cleaner to remove “unnecessary files”, most of those utilities remove the $$uninstal…$$ folders from the Windows folder, so…., you will need to find someone with WMP11 installed and copy the 2 $$uninstall…$$ folders referred to by others in this forum to the Windows folder on your computer. Then the rollback procedure will work. Does anybody hate microsoft as much as me???
