MP9 in IE Broke
 It dosent matter what site im on - it just dosent work. I have "uninstalled" and reinstalled MP9 with no effect. I say "uninstalled" because i noticed that in typical MicroS**t fashion that most of the files were still in the Program Files directory. Incidentally - if i download a file and try to play it - theres no problem - its only when using the browser. Any Ideas - im stumped.

Are you watching a movie that is compressed in DivX or DivX like methods? The reason is because compressed files (like DivX or Windows Media 9 Compression) also use compressed audio. If you computer is downloading the audio and video out of sync, the audio could start playing without downloading the rest of the video.

I've just noticed that if I use Mozilla - i get the following message when i try to do the same...
Illegal Operation In Plugin Windows Media Player Plug-In Dynamic Link Library The Plugin performed an illegal operation. You are strongly advised to restart Navigator. So how do i get shot off / replace the plugin or DLL? |

Sorry GoNz0 - i have already tried that dosent work. As i said in my first post i tried it but it leaves a LOT of files behind after the uninstall. Perhaps if somebody knew of a comprehensive WMP uninstaller that would help.

I fixed it - WMP9 Unistall is awful - simply because it dosent uninstall anything.
I found this on the net though RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\INF\wmp.inf,Uninstall This removed WMP9 correctly, after which it worked again with the default player. The i installed WMP9 again and it worked. Thanks for the help anyway guys. |
