Annoying Nag pop up

Windows media configuration manager update popup

Does any body know how to stop this annoying nag i have tried Microsoft's Way.

I do not want to upgrade wmp.

I have looked on many site's and none of them provided away to stop this annoying nag.

 

Did you try options menu in wmp? In the library tab or player tab. In the library tab uncheck automatic media information update.

 

That part is for Codec pack auto download witch does not work any way.:-D

This popup is the windows media configuration manager update popup where it ask's you to up date the WMP to 11 witch i hate 11 and 12 they both suck.

Greetings, Goldenskull...

Just had a thought about a possible end-around solution: maybe you could uninstall / reinstall WMP, if possible? Might be worth a shot. Here's a link to a downloadable version of Windows Media Player 10 (I'm assuming that you're referring to WMP 10 - if not, browse OldApps for the one you want).

Be advised: I have not tried this, so I have no idea if this will solve your problem or cause any additional problems.

 

MadCityMan has the right solution, although, in my case, typing 1 instead of 0 worked for me.
