Windows Media Player Required?

[kamqute]

It's taking up an awful lot of space, and I was just wondering whether it's okay to take it out..I have the Windows dB codec installed.

Re: Windows Media Player Required?

You might find Windows stops you uninstalling it, or if you manually delete it Windows will popup an error about system files need restoring - it is all Microsofts Anti competitive push to get thier media player as number #1 (very bad tricks!).

I know how to uninstall it

but I've had problems with other media players in the past, so just checking

Re: I know how to uninstall it

Microsoft will have to start selling copies of Windows XP without the Media Player in Europe from next year.

You don't understand

I KNOW HOW to eliminate WMP without any kinks..it's a special program from litepc.com..but my question is does db rely on it in any way?

Re: You don't understand

well it all depends if this program deletes the codec from the system (or any parts of it)...
