Default Don't do it

Don't install the beta version of Media Player 11. Against my better
judgment I installed a MS beta version of MP11. After installing the
software, I started to have problems with Windows Media Center and
Comcast Photoshow.

I have rolled back my software and I am still having problems with the
software.

I have always considered MS final release to be beta until it has been
on the market for at least 6 months, I should have known better.

Actually, don't install the beta of ANY software, unless the machine you're
using is reserved for experiments, and is not used for generating income.

Look into PC Tools website, and download a free edition of their
registry mechanic, it works, here is the URL:

Thanks, I kept rolling it back until I solved the problem. I had to go
back 2 weeks to correct it.

I keep thinking of doing that, but then get worried about screwing up the
whole mess. One of these days...

Help. I just downloaded and ran Registry Mechanic. It found 2205 problems.
I'm hesitant to tell it to 'repair' them. I'm afraid the program may think
that reformatting my hard drive may be the solution.

Did you just hit the 'repair' button after running Mechanic?

I'll do nothing until I hear from you.

That's what I did! If it's the free version it won't fix everything
anyway. But, I would back up the registry first, just in case.

Yeah, I found out. The free version fixed about 450 errors, leaving 1700+
unfixed. So they got my $29. Now they're all fixed. And, the machine boots
noticeably faster!

I didn't make a back up, but I did establish a restore point first.
Everything went very smooth though.

Yeah, I like using it. I've never had a problem and it does speed up
your machine to get all of the extraneous crap out of your registry.
