I installed many updated in early June to my ME. The
update for Media Player is STILL running. I cannot
install any other updates b/c of this still being in
progress. I cannot uninstall Media Player via start-
 >control panels -> install/uninstall b/c there is no
option for Media Player. A file find w/ Media Player does
not give a file where it can be uninstall either. How can
I stop this update so that I can make other updates and
then reinstall or reupdate the Media Player?

The update cannot still be running!
what may have happened is that you have a slightly corrupted registry, or a
'stuck' WININIT.INI file....

Your %1/%2 error is caused usually by Norton LiveUpdate, corrupting the
System Restore archive - although there are other possible causes.

Do a Search for the file WININIT.INI - if you find it, then rename it to
WININIT.JNK, and reboot - your problem should be gone.

If you don't find it, then try this - Start|Run - enter SCANREG /FIX into
the dialog box, and click OK - windows will reboot - see if that fixes it.


WMP cannot be uninstalled - you have to use System Restore for that (which
you would have known if you had read the installation instructions!)
