    I tried to install Media Player 11 onto my XP windows. It downloaded, but won't fully install, so now my media player situation is in limbo, I can use neither WMP 10 or 11. is there any way of rolling back to 10?

    It should be under Add/Remove Programs (tick the Show Updates box) and it should rollback to WMP 10. That or System Restore, if you have a recent restore point).

    I ticked the box, but it didn't have the WMP11 updated option to delete, if you know what I mean. I don't know what you mean by the System restore thingy, and I am afraid to try it, lol.

    I think I got myself out of this trouble before, but can't remember how

    You wont lose anything in system restore.. Its probably the only way your going fix it! You wont lose any files! Do you have service pack2 installed? You need that to install WMP 11

    It uninstalls programs and move files around(doesn't delete aything) So if you have a clean looking desktop it might be all mess when you do it lol!

    Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore and follow onscreen instructions. It is basically a snapshot of your system and you can roll it back to that point in time (a list of dates and times to choose normally). You shouldn't lose files and it should tell you where the files will be saved to.
    Make sure the restore point (if there is one!) is recent enough anyway.
