Guest Bill Cunningham Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I have turned on monitoring of my C volume by xp mce. I then installed an updated version of the media player. If I wanted to restore to the old player what would I do? Bill

It's there for when something goes wrong and you're looking to take your computer back to the state it was in before the problem started. That's not the case in the situation you describe. You don't mention that there were any problems installing or uninstalling WMP11 so there's no need to bring System Restore into the equation. It's a matter of using the correct tool for the job.

In the case of updated versions of Windows programs, uninstalling the update returns the earlier version. Hope that helps you understand what tools are used for what problems.
