i once got something called safe xp or something like. it was a program to eliminate loads of vunerabilities. it was a page just full of boxs that you could tick might it be that??
edit it was safe xp that did it ages ago. thnx a lot for every1 that helped me
Glad you got eveything sorted. I have never seen that safe xp program before. I will have to give it a try one day.
If you decide you still need a good media player and get tired of WMP. I highly recommend this:
looks like i got overexcited. i used safe xp to remove the restrictions but it still wont let me update the media info, also cant dl codecs.tried reinstalling but no luck.
im not sure but i think something else might be blocking it because when i uncheck the box for updating media in safe xp i will use wmp a few times but then if i check safe xp again it has been rechecke
also i just looked at the wmp10 help thingy and it said that it got the media info off windowsmedia.com but i cant find this newhere. on wmp9 it begins with this start.
edit i was also just thinking are there any particular services that need to be running in order to do this??
Windows Media Player?
<shudders!>
i use it because i can use to sync to my mp3 player
WMP is not a bad program. For someone who just wants to burn audio discs and listen to music, why not?
Oli I don't have any idea what the problem is. Seems to me like that safe xp program messed up a reg key somewhere. Does it have a restore feature to undo its fixes?
Sorry I couldn't help with your main problem but some info ... I believe WindowsMedia.com is the default Online Store for the US version of WMP10. With the Canadian version, it was Napster's Canadian site. I think it's because of differing copyright laws.
D'Oh! - Did you ever have these features work? When WMP10 was first released, I seem to recall there were different versions by country. Could it be that these features aren't supposed to work for that reason?
i never tried before but some of my friends can use it so surely i could aswell. safe xp does have a restore feature which i tried but it did not work
i found that safe xp makes this proccess irreversible. but i assume you can reverse it if u save the settings. so this is my request would some1 be able to download this program save their settings without using it and send me the file i would be very grateful. especially if it worked
