Thanks for the tip

To "remove" WMP 9, do a system restore to a restore point BEFORE the time you installed it. When done...it will be gone.
WORKED FOR ME!

No such inteface supported (error Code =

Now, but I'll keep that for tomorrow, I'm going to disable the SFP and download WMP 7.1 and start the setup. Then I'm going to find where it keeps the Temporary Files and then with a .inf file (I am sure it's included) install the thing. Then it should overwrite the files of the original WMP (maybe some renaming here and there) and I could play my files again! Theoratically.

Well, that did not work. I have reinstalled WMP 9 and it works!!! Until now it still works.

Ok, so I think I found a fix for wmp 9. Just to clarify, the error i was getting was No such inteface supported (error Code =
0x80004002, Condition = 115) and i would get it when ever I attempted to open a file with windows media player. All i did was to reinstall wmp 9. But, instead of selecting upgrade I chose to do a full install. Maybe this fix only works for me. Try it if your having probs, might fix it might not but, won't hurt to try.

good luck
oDin.

its not wmp9

did anyone notice that these problems started when microsoft put an update on WindowsUpdate site for Media Player? Im on Windows Media Player 8 and i'm having the exact same problems as everyone else on here. So I'm guessing the update they put on was F@$%*D UP bad

Hey everyone,

I must admit that I fell for the beta version hell of this application, but luckily I had GoBack 3 installed. I gotta tell ya, GoBack has saved my ASS some many times from crappy programs I've lost count. I really recommend this application...it's better, in my opinion, than the system restore feature.

When WMP9 started acting up and I couldn't find a way to fix it, I just reverted my hard drive to before I installed it and it was like it never happened.

Just some friendly advice from someone who liked to f*&k around with his computer too often and ended up having to reinstall his OS way too often.

how to remove wmp9

navigate to c:\program files\windows media player
delete wmplayer.exe
boot from your windows x cd
do a repair install

this avoids having to format and replaces the missing file with the original (wmp8) from the windows xp cd.

Thanks Alot!!

Actually, Ihave been thinking wat program I downloaded that cos the watermark at the desktop, till i see this messge. Thanks alot!!

 

[earfling]

Thanks much zman. The watermark's gone. As far as WM9, it runs for about 5 secs and then it's gone too. I swore months ago that I wouldn't install M$ beta trash and I did it anyway. I'll learn some day.
