    This applies to users who have system restore M.E and XP

    First of all make sure you have System Restore On, Right Click My Computer, System Restore Tab and make sure all drives are On and not Off

    More info here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/getstarted/ballew_03may19.mspx

    The reason to have restore on in the biginning is because WMP11 can only be uninstalled by going back to a previous state using System Restore.

    I use, Start, Run, (type) msconfig and then launch System Restore and return PC to a previous state (before wmp11 was installed)

    As a default Restore should be on anyway this is just a precaution.

    Thanks

    There's a review here.

    I really expected Microsoft to have added Podcast support by now. I guess they're concentrating too much in the selling music area.

    WMA Pro is a good feature.

    Try it if you don't like it you DO NOT need to do a system restore you can use the roll back feature in add/remove apps.
