Yep. Discover what you've been missing while you've been rebooting Microsloth Windows.Ascii2 said:Remove Windows XP from your machine.
Diking out 'essential parts' of your operating system, especially when we're dealing with a system that has no concept of package management or modularity, is NOT RECOMMENDED.Remove said:Not the answers I was looking for so far.
I would not recommend installing Windows XP. Windows XP has Windows Media Player 8 or newer version of Windows Media Player installed upon install of the operating system. While Windows Media Player 7 or greater exists on an instance of Windows, a DRM process will tend to be running (on NT based Wiindows, probably "mspmspsv.exe") while the instance of Windows is running.UnseenMenace said:install WindowsXP and do not update media player or use any fixes related to media player as these also change the licence and evolve the DRM capabilitys.
While as Unseen said an nlite install would be best, it's rediculously easy to disable this one thing you mentioned by just opening up msconfig and unclicking a checkbox. It takes a heck of alot less effort to do this than installing a now relatively-defunct and unsupported version of windows.Ascii2 said:a DRM process will tend to be running (on NT based Wiindows, probably "mspmspsv.exe")

This is incorrect; the process I mentioned cannot by disabled using msconfig.grumperfish said:it's rediculously easy to disable this one thing you mentioned by just opening up msconfig and unclicking a checkbox.
I also reject this claim. No effort would acomplish what you claimed above about disabling a process via msconfig as it is impossible do do what you alleged, therefore effort for an installation of "a now relatively-defunct and unsupported version of windows" cannot exceed it.grumperfish said:It takes a heck of alot less effort to do this than installing a now relatively-defunct and unsupported version of windows.
A correction: On Windows XP, Windows Media Player DRM process would likely be an instance of "svchost.exe".Ascii2 said:While Windows Media Player 7 or greater exists on an instance of Windows, a DRM process will tend to be running (on NT based Wiindows, probably "mspmspsv.exe") while the instance of Windows is running.
