First off ... tomasz86, thanks for Update Rollup 2! It's totally awesome! The info below is kinda tangential and not directly related to the topic being discussed here, but some might find it useful. You can still directly download WMP 9 (Windows Media Player 9) from the microsoft.com website by pasting the URL below into your browser and "going to it." You could also right click, save as. What you will get is a 13951112 byte download of the MPSetup.exe program which is WMP 9 for Windows 2000, 98 SE and Me. IE 6 for Win2K is easily found on the MS website, but if there is a web page on the MS website that offers easy access to this DL I cannot find it. I looked for over an hour. It seems that they really want to discourage WMP 9 usage by XP owners (closely related DL). This DL is probably somewhere on MSFN (or a link), but I'm only an occasional visitor, so I don't know where to look. http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/b/c/1bc0b1a3-c839-4b36-8f3c-19847ba09299/MPSetup.exe Some stuff for search engines ... Size = 13951112 = 13,951,112 bytes MD5 = E919C4E0050B32AEBE83A5D2EB613DD4 SHA1 = 580536D10657FA3868DE2869A3902D31A0DE791B It appears that that URL has been working since 2004 or before. English is supported, but I'm not sure if other languages are. Keep in mind that a fresh install of WMP 9 will surely need some security patches installed. Sorry, but I'm not addressing that here. I would suggest that a good point to do the upgrade to WMP 9 (assuming you want it) would be after applying SP4 to Win2K. By the way, if you already have a Win2K system with WMP 9 on it this MPSetup.exe installer CAB is almost certainly on that system in the \Program Files\Windows Media Player\Installer dir (or similar name).
