The error is: Visual C++
Program: C:/../../Windows Media Player/wmplayer.exe
 
 
R6025
-pure virtual function call
 
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
 
Oh, BTW, for all of you wondering how to get rid of WMP9. You have to use the system restore feature to go back to a state prior to installing. As I have had it on the system for a few weeks now, I no longer have that option.

Interesting, so it's been updated then. I was unaware of that. AFAIK, the 'official' beta build was 2799.

If I check the version of the wmplayer.exe file it says 2799, but Help says it is 2848. So, I don't know if maybe that is part of the problem. And, I can't just delete the directory and reinstall because Windows is caching the files somewhere. After I delete everything it recreates all the files in about 10 seconds.
