You can't remove media centre. What format was the video. It might be that hte right codec wasn't installed. Windows usually will only try and play something through an application if it knows that is is compatible or you've changed the setting previously.

I just downloaded a video that I received in an email message from my brother. I clicked on the link to download the video, and when I tried to play it Windows Media Center came up but nothing played. Can I safely remove Windows Media Center without effecting any other programs such as my beloved Winamp? All I got upon attempting to play the video was the opening sound and then JAWS announced Windows Media Center. Also, some files are not working with Windows Media Player. Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Jake
