1: please PLEASE quit using red text, it hurts the eyes.

2: look for a windows media player update called: KB911564, and uninstall. later on you will get the update windows reminder, jsut disable it or ignore it.

So what do you do if you can not uninstall it? If a person uses a link to show a video clip here, I will not be able to see it. Is that update responsible for it?
