In the add/remove section of control panel try looking in the "add/remove windows components" it may be located there.

Good choice.  I found WMP11 horrible as well.  The library is a total mess.  Having read a couple of forums, it sounds like they re-wrote it to be more like iTunes. Angry

For the record, iTunes is horrible.

1st off the new library looks very good. More like Media Center than iTunes. If anything the old library looks more like iTunes than anything else.

2nd off what do you have against iTunes. For music its awesome. everything is very easy to find, and making a playlist is easier than in WMP in my oppinion. Also the fact that I can share my library with everyone else on my network is very nice. Thats something I'm not aware that WMP can do. All in all for music iTunes is much better than WMP.

For DVD playback, and movies of any kind, WMP hands down.

Cheers

i didnt like it coz it sounded like my music was really...grainy.  i played the same song on wmp 10&11 + real player, and oin both wmp 10 and rp the sound quality was better than wmp 11.  it is only a beta version however.
