    Hmm... well I'm just not really enamored with the beta for WMP11. I don't care for the color (that black bothers me) and I actually like the old library system better. But enough about that. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get version 10 back on the computer. I unchecked it in the "add/remove windows components" window and it got rid of the program itself, but when I go to install the older version I get an error message saying that a newer version of WMP is installed. suggestions?

    You have to remove the WMP 11 encoder or something like that which you can find in Add/Remove Programs. Be sure to tick the SHOW UPDATES box at the top. After uninstalling, you should not need to install WMP 10, as it is a ROLLBACK instead of an uninstallation.
