I don’t know why I’m shocked that this happened, and I’m sure it’s old news.  But I don’t use Windows Media Player, though just this morning I needed it for listening to something that I didn’t want to run through iTunes, and it popped up with a notice saying it needed to update aspects of version 9.  I thought it was a security update so I said yes, go ahead, update it – keeping in mind it still stated it was updating version 9.  I didn’t want any of the newer versions on my machine.

And this is what happened…

Everything says version nine until it actually begins downloading version ELEVEN…

When it was done, it insisted I reboot the computer.

After I rebooted the computer, Microsoft Windows wouldn’t start.  I had to go back and set windows to use “Last known Good Configuration.”

Things like this make me want to switch to Linux or a Mac.
