uninstalling the WMP 8 didn't help.
nor did installing WMP 7.1.

a funny thing is that after the computer boots if i try to use the OLD media player (Ver 5.0, mplay32.exe) the movie plays and i can go forwards and backwards just fine.

all the other players just don't seem to be able to seek through the movie.....

I tried uninstalling the cd from the device manager but that did't help....(it works fine on my dual boot WIN me )

is there a way to uninstall Media Player 6.4 ?
and if so how can i reinstall it ??(Win 2000)

HELP PLEASE !!......
