BleepingComputer.com: Windows Media Player 10

I would like to play some MP4 videos on my windows media player 10,
if I download the XP Codec Pack 2.0.8 from .... http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm
will this enable me to watch MP4 on windows media player 10 ...?

if not can some one recommend a player that would play most formats inc MP4
and is possibly smaller in size that windows media player 10



thanks Mypenry

Hi ... navsangeet_88for...

thanks for your reply , I will give them a try



Thanks.. Mypenry

well it has to be ...... Videolan

so now I would like to uninstall Windows Media Player 10

is there a simple answer ..? ive looked in the Add /remove .. but no sign of WMP 10

can any one help please....

Thanks Mypenry

It's "hidden" in Components in add/remove. But...all that really does is hide the shortcuts to WMP. There are ways to uninstall WMP, but WMP is also integrated into much of Windows and uninstalling for real could cause problems. You'd be better off just to set your current player as the default for all formats, go into WMP and turn off all the auto updating and settings like that. And then just "forget" it's there.
