Adel Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi guys, it's been a longtime since i've come to you w/ a problem to solve. Good to see most of the old gang is still posting here & assisting ppl like me. anyways, I have a new lap top w/ W7, but for the life of me i cannot find a way to uninstall wmp that comes w/ it or even install wmp 11(which i love) on top of the one originally installed in my laptop. I have even tried to install Keiro firewallbut windws wouldn't let me suggesting there's already a firwall installed. any help to deal with this guys would be very appreciated. Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted December 22, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 22, 2010 Windows 7 comes with WMP12 by default, why do you want to downgrade? Can you post screenshots of what's coming up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0_0 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 i cannot find a way to uninstall wmp that comes w/ it or even install wmp 11 It sounds like you want to down-grade from WMP12 to WMP11 - Google is your friend. I have even tried to install Keiro firewall but windows wouldn't let me suggesting there's already a firewall installed. It likely is Windows firewall. I wouldn't expect too many resellers sending a computer out their doors without a firewall configured and enabled (by default). If I was you, I would determine if removing (or disabling) either can be accomplished without really screwing something up, you may be better off with the Windows 7 offerings. It shouldn't be too difficult to disable your existing firewall and install one you prefer. Are you sure Kerio is better than what you have now? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason i want to downgrade wmp is because I can't-may more accurately because i can't figure out how to save files/vids I like. I had the old version wmp11 on my old pc & I was very happy w/ it. As for the firewall, my new laptop comes w/ the windows firewall, so far it is doing a good job, but may be it's because of my good experience of 5yrs w/ Kerio firewall that's why I wanted to feel safer. May be I should do as they say"if it ain't broken don't fix it". In my attempt to install kerio I did disable the windows firewall & yet again windows7 intervened to tell me that I already have a built in firewall in my system. I think I should just leave the firewall alone & focus on getting wmp to be installed. thank you for your assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted December 23, 2010 Administrator Share Posted December 23, 2010 As far as I know, you can't downgrade WMP. It's quite a nice improvement in Windows 7, really. Try right clicking and looking for File > Save As... for your videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Try right clicking and looking for File > Save As... for your videos. If you right-click on the top menu bar of WMP you'll get a menu with File, Edit, etcetera. The same effect can be achieved by hitting the Alt key (which also works in Explorer to show the top menu bar). Here's a picture of where you can right-click to get that menu (highlighted): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
