551959 2007-05-22 01:18:00 Went to M$ and asked, nicely, for a copy of WMP10 for this older puter I'm resurrecting .

I get the following message:

This version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this version of Windows . For more information, view the information at the Microsoft web site .

Howcome?

It's another XP-Pro/SP-2 and all the updates and hotfixes .

Any ideas? Has WMP10 been discontinued?

Right now it has WMP9 and I don't care for that . I COULD dnld WMP11, but that's not gonna happen in my lifetime .

551960 2007-05-22 01:26:00 I would say DL WMP11 and see if that works... I prefer 11 over 10 anyway :p The_End_Of_Reality (334)
551961 2007-05-22 01:32:00 So, u cant download it at all??

I just went to the MS site, and I could download it no prob.

551962 2007-05-22 01:33:00 I have tried to go back to v10 as well. I believe it has the ability to stream & download music, that v11 will not let you do.

I get the same error message as well. Clearly something that MS has done under pressure from the Music Outfits.

I did try some of the other programms, as sujested in a previous thread of mine. Did not get anywhere, probably so used to the MS format. I Did not have the confidence in my ability to set one up. PJ:annoyed:

551966 2007-05-22 04:56:00 I had 10 installed on my XP pro for quite a while - then thought Id try 11, but decided I liked 10 better (prefer drag and drop into burn list)
Thats when I discovered this very same message
"This version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible ...bla bla"

funny thing - I was using the exact same installer that I had installed it with previously... now it says incompatible??? - I think its a smoke screen to remove the version 10.
Im sure the same message will display with your installer link zqwerty
M$ just dont want this version running anymore for some reason - prolly the drm thing

551967 2007-05-22 04:57:00 I use 11, no problems. (Mind you, I only use basic features - music/sound/video/DVD playback :p) pcuser42 (130)
551968 2007-05-22 05:02:00 Perhaps they want you to upgrade from Windows-286, Joe. Graham L (2)
