Before proceeding to uninstall WMP 11, make sure that you have logged into Windows XP as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. This is necessitated by the fact that one should have administrative privileges to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 in Windows XP. That is all! If you want to rollback to a previous version of Windows Media Player, you can even use System Restore to roll back to the previous version of the Player.

But note that this option does not remove it from your PC. If you are having problems with WMP 11 in Windows Vista and if you have the original Vista disc with you, try booting the computer with the Vista DVD and then use the repair button, to see if it resolves your media player problems.

You can 'turn off' Windows Media Player by following the steps below: 1. Click on Start and select Control Panel. Select Programs and Features. Select Turn Windows features on or off. Expand Media Features. The player will play video but the audio will not play. The issue seems isolated to video files; it will play audio cds just fine. Unfortunately, I have to continue to use Windows Media Player for work reasons.

My best guess is that the media player files codecs? However, I can't uninstall the darn thing. I have tried everything. I have even gone into the various Windows updates to try and find and unistall the update that installed it.
