298943 2004-12-02 01:01:00 It either didnt download the whole exe file completely, or u have something like a virus. Which has screwed it up.

If this is WMP 10, and u havent got XP it might not install either.

298945 2004-12-02 01:36:00 Have you considered installing Sp2 onto the comp?

I presume its the work computer?

298947 2004-12-02 01:42:00 WMP10 should still install without sp2 (as far as i know),i jut mentioned it because sp2 installs wmp9(i think its 9 that sp2 installs) which will give you the "play from the taskbar" feature your after.

If SP2 kills your work comp and causes all sorts of greif that i completley deny having mentioned it......

Infact,even this post doesn't exsist..
