[jaws-uk] Re: Repairing Windows Media Player

Hi Joan,

If you want Media Player 10 (or even 11) you can download
the most up to date version from the following.  (Make sure
the URL doesn't wrap - it should end in .aspx)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/defa
ult.aspx=20

Otherwise, you will need to give it your XP CD when asked.

George.

O my, George, how little I know about computers! Thanks very
much.

However, it told me to insert the disk and I am too cowardly
to do it. I will though ask a sighted friend to help me with
this now that I know what to do.

Thanks again.

Best wishes,

Joan.
