I have got several netbooks,2 are Windows XP and my others are Windows 7. And I have tried many times to install both Windows Media player 9 and 10 on my Windows 7.

But there is just no way I can do it. Because what happens is this-I download WMP 9 or WMP 10 from the web( I downloaded from old apps.com or old version.com.)My web browser saves the installer file in downloads on my computer. But when I try to install WMP 9 I get a message saying,program blocked due to compatibility issues. And when I try to install WMP 10 I get a message saying, sorry Windows Media player 10 is only for Windows XP.

And I also tried uploading the WMP 9 and WMP10 program files from my Windows XP netbook onto Mediafire. And then installing them from there on my Windows 7 laptop. But when I try to open either the WMP 9 or 10 program file,I get the same message as before.

So there is no way Windows will let you install or run WMP 9 or 10 on Windows 7. As it has blocked both the whole installation and the program. So WMP 9 and 10 only run on Windows XP I have found. But I cannot install or run WMP 9 or 10 on my Windows 7.

The lowest version of WMP you can run on Windows 7 is WMP 11 for Windows 7. But that is only because some one created an adapted version of WMP11 adapted for Windows 7. Maybe they will also make a WMP 9 or 10 for Windows 7, like they did with WMP 11 for windows 7.

But I recently saw a You Tube video and it showed WMP 9 installed and running on Windows 7,with the help of a software called Resource Hacker. But the video was not in English,so I could not understand it. And I don't know how they got WMP 9 running. As I cannot even get past the installation as Windows blocks the download on Windows 7. So I cannot even install WMP 9 or 10 on Windows 7. Andrea Borman.
