First off find you sysoc.inf in windows. Open with wordpad and find windows media player, in the line after delete the hide but keep the commas. Then save and reboot. Go into add/delete files. Go to windows components and click on it to remove it.

To delete the folder, download procexp. Run it and turn off winlogin. Then delete windows media player in program files. Then run registry mechanic to clean up extra crap.
Reboot and download bsplayer and you've got one less ms program :p .

All programs I list are freeware.

P.S. you can use the same procedures to delete MS internet explorer than get firefox.

Erm, weaselco- look at the date of the last post in this thread. The thread has been dormant for over one year; why are you digging it up now?

How dreadful I'm having the same problem, could someone PLEASE speak in English here? I did not understand the last instructions, it's all gibbirish to me. Firstly can't located any sysoc.inf file, and second where is the add/remove function? Yes that's right unfortunetly I'm a touch DIM and a complete newbie to Mac. I have OS X by the way. I'm having the same trouble as the girl before me. I don't know how to get rid of my faulty windows media file. I did reinstall another version but it won't let me replace the older useless one. Could someone please find it in their heart to help as I may be condemned forevermore in the depths of despair if I don't fix this annoying problem. Cheers :mrgreen:

Hi Gandalfs_beard,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:
