RPSE:
You can revert back to wmp 9 ONLY if you had System Restore ON and were running Win XP home or pro, you just merely would click on Help and then system restore and find the checkpoint restore that was created BEFORE you installed wmp 10. Be prepared however to re-install all the programs that were installed after the checkpoint that you have gone back to, as they will all have to be reinstalled.
If you are getting conflicting .dlls that would indicate a registry problem due to trying to unistall and revert back with no checkpointers in place and you did so WITHOUT using system restore.
Try going back and using system restore to restore back to wmp version 9.
Again this will only work IF you had system restore on at the time you installed version 10, and it MUST BE ON NOW otherwise this will not work.
I believe that you still may be able to get version 9 of wmp on your machine if you unistalled it completely.
Here is a link with a program that costs $20 but claims to remove windows Media Player COMPLETELY.

Let me know if it works for you.

[LEFT]RPSE here, but I'm JC_SE now. Thanks mattmin
I have wmp9 on XP Pro now and I don't want to install wmp10 again.
System Restore was on the last time I had XP Home but it didn't help.
Later I changed to XP Pro where I don't want to do the same mistake.
I know how it works but wmp10 changes the whole system and that's
why the System Restore is useless. I've read about it somewhere but
I have to refresh my memory since it was a while ago.
It's all because dxva_sig.txt. Yea, it seems like I have to install wmp10
to be able to use the patch mentioned above. But if it doesn't help, I'm
stuck with wmp10 "forever" and I don't really want that. dxva_sig.txt
are still here and there but I will not pay to get rid of it. I was hoping
there was a free fix or something to change in regedit. But since the
wmp10 setup obviously is making some big changes to the system, it's
not that easy. It has been like this since v.9 was released but I don't
think I ever get used to dxva_sig.txt. It seems there's nothing for
this and it makes it even more annoying :suspiciou
But sooner or later we all have to update - and upgrade too...
I'm curious about wmp11 but I'll wait a bit longer because it's
still beta and I want to hear what they say about it.
