Windows Media Player 9 Registry Toolkit. Beware installing the new media player from Microsoft until you read this page!!! The new player limits your ability to send and receive stationery. If you choose to install the new player, you will need the WMP9 Registry Toolkit to surmount these problems.

the ZIP file supplied and save the unzipped files to a new folder. Click on the .EXE to run WMP9 Registry Toolkit. Be sure to click the Help button and read the short description of settings changes recommendations. To uninstall Toolkit, simply delete the files and folder.

This is a Visual Basic program, so requires you to have the current VB6 Runtime files. You do have them, right? I'll be offering more software here in the future as the site gets updated. Most of you have them already, but if you get a program error, go to the VB Runtime Files page. They can be downloaded from there.

Many thanks to Richard Eagle, Ohmster, Cheryl Soshnik, Uncle Gus, and Donald Anadell for their work in resolving these issues with the new player!

In my personal opinion, the future of computing lies not in clinging to the past, but in pushing onward toward new solutions and new technologies. DO NOT rely on the Toolkit fix to keep old generation players (NetShow & WMP6.4) going forever. Sooner or later they may be withdrawn by Microsoft, or totally disabled. This can happen at any time, with any Windows Update. Toolkit was written not to keep the status quo, but to provide an interim solution while we push on.
