Ok so i went to copy one of my cd's so i could put the songs on my Mp3 player and M$ says there is an update for Windows media player. Ok cool, i go to download it and at the END of the update it says i must have Windows Media player 9, ok first off, i did, and if i didnt have it why would they give me an update i cant use!!!!  ugg, oh well, i like the computers, just sometimes not the company.

I think I remember having the exact same thing happen to me.  I just remember being really frustrated

If I upgrade WMP then I uninstall my existing version before downloading the new one and fully installing the updated version. I find most programs when they offer upgrades cause trouble...

M$ isn't the only one with this issue. I have an ATI graphics card that requires me to first uninstall the old drivers before putting in new ones. But even then, the new driver didn't want to install because it keeps telling me that I already have a driver installed. My frustrations ended when I started using the Omega drivers from http://www.omegadrivers.net/ instead of from www.ati.com.

You should always uninstall the old drivers before installing new ones, Omega drivers included.

Uh, I know that already. I'm just saying that even uninstalling old ones first didn't seem to help.
