Windows Media Player 11 on VPCSource: microsoft.public.mac.virtualpc
Sent: 07/31/2006
From: Julian <(email address - cut out)>
Message:Running Windows Media Player 11 on VPC 7.0.2 and XP is like being stuck
in quicksand. Is there any way to strip it down, speed it up?
If not, how do I uninstall to make way for version 10 (assuming that
version is any better/faster)?
Thanks

Message:Use System Restore to restore to a point just before you installed WMP11.
Installation of WMP11 should have set such a point.
If for some reason that does not work for you:
1.
In Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
2.
Click Remove a program, and then, at the top of the list, select the
Show updates check box.
3.
In the Windows Updates section, click Windows Media Player 11, and then
click Change/Remove.
4.
If prompted, restart your computer, and then log on as an administrator
or a member of the Administrators group.
5.
In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
6.
In the Windows Updates section, click Windows Media Format 11 Runtime,
and then click Change/Remove.
7.
If prompted, restart your computer, and then log on as an administrator
or a member of the Administrators group.
8.
In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs, and then click Remove a
program.
9.
Click Microsoft User-Mode Driver Frameworks Feature Pack 1.0, and then
click Change/Remove.
Note
If you remove Windows Media Player 11 and the Windows Media Format 11
Runtime, and you try to play a protected file, you may get an error message
indicating that the Player cannot play, burn, or sync protected files. To
resolve the problem, you can install the Windows Media Format 9.5 Runtime.
For information about installing the Runtime, in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base, see article 891122, "Update for Windows Media Digital Rights
Management-enabled players."

I used WMP9 or 10 in VPC 7.02 with a Windows 2000 virtual machine, and
it was fine for voice, and although you can view video, it's not a
pleasant experience (jerking through scenes and video and voice out of
sync).
I've upgraded my VM to XP with WMP10, but haven't even bothered trying
WMP since I figure it will be as bad or worse than it was under Windows
2000.
This is on a 1st generation Mac mini 1.25 GHz, 1 GB ram with 256 megs
dedicated to the VM. Results may be better on a higher end machine, but
I rather doubt it.

Thanks a lot Colin. This will help a lot, although I recently turned
off the System Restore feature (part of suggestions given on how to
strip down and speed up XP). I was hoping one could "strip down" WMP in
the same way. I really only need it for the odd DRM-protected clip.
However, from what Donald Stidwell tells me in the second post (thanks
Donald) WMP 10 is hardly better.

Julian, I did try WMP10 after I posted the ref'd message and it's the
same. Very jerky video and audio out of sync. But realise I'm using the
lowest end Mac desktop possible, with the exception of the bumped up
RAM. I have no idea what the performance would be like on a higher end
machine.
