Anybody else having problems? Whenever I go to download a program, it takes me to the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation page and tells me to install, even though I already have installed! I don't really want to uninstall iPlayer because I'll probably lose all the programs, so does anyone have any ideas?

    Thats because they've replaced the old peer to peer iplayer program with the new desktop version. You won't be able to download with the old program. I thought it said you wouldn't lose any of the programs you had previously downloaded, but I can't be sure because I didn't have any. If it sees you have downloaded prgrams it may not uninstall it.

    But I already have the desktop version! This only started about 2 weeks after I installed it, a short time after the 2nd version of desktop came out.
