WMP 10 for WIndows 98

[prasadzmultiplex]

When i try to Download Windows Media Player 10 From The Microsoft
Website,I am shown that Version 7.1 is the BEst for My OS.

Is there any way to circumvent this & Install WMP 10 on Windows 98?
Or Do I have to make do with Version 7.1 only?

You can not install WMP 10 in Win98. Win98 supports upto WMP 9 ONLY. You can go for WMP 9.

yeah SWATKAT is right... WMP10 is only for all editions of Windows XP only...

if ur looking WMP for playing WMA/WMV Files... then just instal the codes from WindowsMedia.com and most of media players [winamp/real...] support WMA...

My PC Just Crashed.......

When I tried Downloading WMP 9 from the Microsoft Website,First of all,
DAP opened and then I got an error message that "This Program has done
Something Illegal & will be Shut Down"

Then a BSOD Cropped up with the Following message:"A Fatal Exception OE has occuredat 0147:005ED2.The Currecnt Application Will be Terminated"

I had to Restart My System Manually.....
What Might have been the cause of error???

Try clearing your temp files before installing the new one.

I Cleaned the Temp Files before Installing but once again the BSOD
that I've described above popped up.And I haven't tried hence....

And aadipa,If its untested then I don' wanna try it.Jus' while Installing
WMP 9,My PC crashed so I don' wanna put more load onto it....

Thanks Anyway.....

i think you must specify ur system hardware (CPU, RAM and free HDD space). i think 128MB RAM is decent and enough for WMP9, hey i installed it on windows ME from a Digit CD (you may be having it!), so keep trying maybe its the website from which you are downloading, try changing the source ?
