Napster Issue with WMP 11?

[Revenant]

Hi All

For some reason Napster has stopped working correctly with Windows Media Player 11. I now get the following message when I try and load Napster:

"You do not appear to have the correct minimum version of Windows Media Player. Make sure Windows Media Player 7.01.00.3055 or higher is installed and then launch Napster again."

I've got WMP11, which I've had for several weeks. I've tried updating Napster to the latest version (3.8 IIRC) but neither of these have fixed the issue. I'm running Win XP SP2.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks
Simon

Resolved. This is by way of an FYI should anyone else be having this problem and search for it.

I managed to fix it by uninstalling Windows Media Player 11 (3 programs, two called "Windows Media..." and the other "Microsoft User Mode Driver Feature Pack 1.0").

Then download WM 10 and install.

Then download WM 11 and install.

A real pain for what is probably just a registry value out of kilter. Napster support knew nothing but I have seen at least one other post on the we about the same bug.
