Viewpoint media player is an anoying media player that is put on your system
by AOL. YES, AOL. It took me forever to finally get rid of it, . just go to
add/remove programs, and remove it. if you have the aol instant messanger,
they have access to your computer and will keep trying to put it on. go to
all of the places where it shows aol, like in programs, desktops, program
files, anywhere that shows where the aol download is, and make sure that the
free aol icon is deleted. it will come back, but you just have to keep on it.
you also can go to start/find/ files and folders, and then do a search for
viewpoint media player, and then delete any that comes up. this worked for
me, and now, i never get it. unless my kids do something stupid on aol IM,
but I had it for a long time, did a search on ask jeeves, and now i am
viewpoint FREE!!! good luck, hope this works for you! Kat.
