Trying to re-install WMP 10 in order to get the visualizations to work in XP
MCE
2005 (have seen in another threat that this will solve the prob).
However, I cannot complete installation because "a more recent version
exists on your system....".
Have tried to uninstall WMP via add/remove Windows components, but this
doesn't solve.

Another issue: 22 tracks are left in my music library and no matter how many
time I hit delete (or right-click+delete), they will not clear from the
library. Seems like they are stuck there forever ;-) (files are physically
located on another PC in the same home network and connection is good).

If somebody can help me with prob #1, it perhaps also solves the library
issue?

Deleting or renaming the library file will solve issue #2.

Actually http://www.zachd.com/pss/pss.html is a better link - search for
the first instance of "wmdb" for instructions.

Thanks a bunch Mike - solved it straight away.

By not responding on issue #1 does that mean that it is a "live with it
until MS fixes"-problem?
It's annoying that visualizations doesn't work in MCE 2005, and also the
song/album info stays on, eventhough I have selected only at the start and
end of each song.
I am afraid that the "black box" with info burns marks on my screen if used
for longer periods.

MCE-specific questions may be better directed to the MediaCenter newsgroups.
