Its not 9 or 11. I had this on my old hard-drive that crashed and burned and when I got a new one and reloaded XP I got version 9, which sucks ass and I hate.
Can’t seem to find this version. Any help with ID or links to download would be great.
Thanks, Dope!

Looks like WMP10 on XP to me.

And if I wanted to download WMP10 I’d get it from here: [Download Old Versions of Windows Media Player for Windows - OldVersion.com](http://www.oldversion.com/windows/windows-media-player/)
It’s pretty much the go-to for old versions of programs.

Humm. I installed 11 and don’t like it. Uninstalled it and rolled back to 9. Tried 10 and it says its incompatible with whatever I’m running. 😕
I’ve got XP home, and like I say, its got v9 and v11 installed successfully. I wonder why 10 ain’t working?
I’ll try again and download from a different place maybe. (Got it right from Microsoft 😕 )

v10 tells me I gotta have XP 32. Can’t find that on oldversion. I can’t get none of this shit to work right.
On the bright side, my BMW broke 2 rocker arms, but I found a real nice rebuilt head in the junkyard for under $70! Should have it running in a day or so. This is what my “bright side” is like. :rolleyes: ☹
