Windows Media Player Can't Be Removed From Win Xp Does anyone have this problem?

Recommended Posts

My family recently got a Dell. :rolleyes: After a few boots, a Windows Media Player popup came up and asked if I wanted to install it. I clicked yes and proceeded on. Ever since then I have grown to regret that decision because now the program won't go away. It loads up every time I log onto to the computer and it takes forever. I tried removing it but then after a boot the software would reload it. As far as I know I don't have any virus. Anyone know of any way to get rid of it?

If i hear the name Dell, i already start shivering.
Their pc's aren't normal inside. They put the motherboard, VGA-card, ... on a total different place than in an normal computer.

They probably change the software and os ...

ya it s pretty much the worst computer we've ever had. I use an older Emachine model with Windows 98 and it runs sooo much better (although it s not a very good computer in itself). Dell really does use the cheapest parts!

i thought Dell is better than emachines, emachines is the cheapest crap in the market and now bought by another crap company. and win98 runs better than winxp? i guess microsoft should really stop making softwares.

ohhh,so interesting...if there is a problem,it will relate to the brand of computer. umm,in my opinion,Dell is a gread brand in IT,especially in PC.No matter on price or Performance...even better than IBM and Toshiba.er,come bace to your post about mp as booting .solving this trouble,you could check the msconfig of xp or startup to remove it.if not successful,uninstall your mp completely.
