THIS WILL BRING BACK WMP12

1. Open start and type "turn fea" then hit enter.
2. A window will open, deselect 'Windows Media Player' (as shown)

Note: Deselecting WMP will require you to allow it to deselect WMC.

3. Press OK, restart.
4. Repeat step 1, then reselect 'Windows Media Player' (as shown)

Note: If you want to use WMC you will need to reselect that as well.

5. Select OK, restart again, see if its back to WMP 12.

MS didn't put WMP11 in Windows 7 for a reason, try finding a way to get WMP 12 in the taskbar instead of getting WMP 11 in Windows 7.

Hi r600mura

I did a similar process on my windows 7 as in my opinion wmp 12 sucks. I got wmp 11 installed with no errors and it can play music etc but it was unable to use any plugins. Iv now uninstalled wmp 12 and 11 from my pc and im looking for an alternative player.

I know that doesnt help you lol but you should think about removing all traces of wmp from your pc and then doing an sfc /scannow followed by a complete virus scan.

One of the better alternative players is VLC ( Download VLC Media Player 1.0.2 - FileHippo.com ).

I prefer Media Player Classic for videos. I only used WMP for music but anyway il try not to hijack this thread and just say that heres a list of alternatives players - Comparison of media players - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hope you find a solution r600mura

Glad to hear it.

I'm sure there is a way, try asking in our customization section or in the software section.

If you feel like its worth it to have it on the taskbar, try this thread.

May have to skip to the first page, it auto-put me on page 3

Hey darknovagamer, I tried that Program but it gives me a player plugin error problem at startup of media player.Therefore the Media Player option never shows on the taskbar......Well thanks Alot ! Nice try.....

I tried winamp But Hate that program.
