deleting xp media player

[john mclaughlin]

Had nothing but problems with windows xp media player. every time go to play video from web error message tells me windows has to shut down and sorry for the inconvenience.

Is it possible to delete media player and run Real Player which i downloaded as the default?

If this is the wrong solution anyone know how to check media player is up and running correctly

cheers guys

you can try uninstalling from the add remove programs and reinstalling WMP.
and you can use real player as your default if that doesn't work.
