After i removed WMP Winamp gave an error on startup, and it couldnt play WMA's anymore. So I was forced to reinstall it, because winamp starts on windows startup.
Aww, evil Microsoft at it again. Oh well, I'll just leave it be then. I'll just delete the icons, I don't like the player anyway, might as well get it out of my view.
When you remove WMP from add/remove programs, you just delete an icon on desktop, quicklaunch, and Start menu. It doesn't uninstall the WMP! And in XPLite there is no such options to remove WMP. So your only chose is to have WMP installed!

PS. We went to the Appl store in CrapUSA the other day, and the main demo machine had 2 errors on it, the Apple version of the infamous 'Application and crash and send a bug report to Apple'
Microsoft had a great scandal with RealOne Inc. about Windows Media Player. They have paid a lot of money to RealOne to shut them up. And why they did that? Why they can't understand that their WMP is sucks? No one uses it!
"Zoom Player was designed from the ground up to load quick, take as little system resources as possible, provide user feedback/direction as appropriate and maintain as much isolation from other applications and system components as not to undermine overall stability."
As long as you have the codec, Zoom Player will play the file. I can watch Quicktime and Real media formats as well.
And if you have Vobsub installed, Zoom Player will display any .sub, .srt (etc subtitle file).
Another feature is you can quickly choose what screen aspect ratio you want to use as well as selecting which audio channel (for different languages) and which subtitle channel (for different subtitles) to use. It doubles very nicely as a DVD player in this respect.
It's very customizable and don't forget it was designed to be fast and use as little of the system resources as possible unlike Windows Media Player which is just evil.
Let me guess, its just an add-on for WMP, like MyIE2 is :P
No, I don't think so. I've used it some weeks ago, I think it is much quicker than WMP and has less bugs. That's one of the greatest players, it works even on Pentium100MHz!

Or delete your dllcache, then WMP's files.
Yeah, after that it got bad..... and I went WinAmp when I realized how good it is.
