Uninstall media player.

I'm trying to uninstall media player from the kids PC. I'm trying to take 10 out and reinstall 9. I've uninstalled it from add remove, I've deleted the folder in safe mode, I've searched for it and removed anything to do with it but when I try to install WMP9, windows tells me there's a newer version already insalled and setup will not continue. Is it a registery setting that's stopping me? Where is it?

    You could try removing it's registry entries? Backup your registry and try Registry Crawler.

    I've tried it, it found 249 entries for media player. It's too much to look at each one. What happens is I try to install WMP9 and it stops, it tells me there is a newer version and won't install it. I did find one entry that said 'allow uninstall' that was set to no, I set it to yes but it still won't come out. It's out of add remove progs and search won't find it but there is still something that won't let me install 9. I need 9 to allow son to download his music to his Rio800 mp3 player, the Rio software doesn't work and WMP10 doesn't support it. Can I tell reg crawler to delete all 249 entries or am I just asking for trouble?

    Great stuff. Thanks Black Hawk, that did it. I didn't know but the kids have installed SP2 on their PC and the option in your link worked.
    Thanks again mate. :thumbsup::D
