hi, i have wmp 10 and i had 2 re-install it because my songs from napster wernt playing, and i can't get the toolbar
Here is a pic:

i think u have to turn it on in wmp options, lemmie have a quick look

it says in the help:


Right-click an open area of the Windows taskbar (such as below the system clock), point to Toolbars, and then click Windows Media Player.
Note

The first step turns on the feature and must only be performed once. A check mark appears next to the Windows Media Player command to indicate that it is turned on. To switch to mini Player mode in the future, simply perform step 2.


I know i have done it before, i had the miniplayer enabled 2 weeks ago!!

Try going to start/run and type regsvr32 wmpband.dll This should register it and the option should be visible on the taskbar then.

thanks for the reply, but its saying LoadLibrary "wmpband.dll" failed

I found this and it reports it as a known issue. Apparently you have to roll back to wmp9, untick the wmp on toolbars then reinstall wmp10. Dont know if it works.

ok, thanks alot for that i will try it later

quote from microsoft website:

Windows XP users: Windows Media Player 9 Series is no longer available for Windows XP. Download Windows Media Player 10.

i cant find any traces of wmp9 on my computer (like setup files or anything)
sorry it took so long to reply, havnt realy had longer than 10 mins on the computer, been doing coursework for school

I found this on MS http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...s/default.aspx If you ignore what it says and click download you will get wmp 9.

ok i will try that, thanks
why couldnt microsoft have done the miniplayer option in version 10? lol
