On one of my work computers running Win98SE, Windows Media Player corrupted itself. I try to uninstall it, but the uninstaller crashes every time (nice job Gates). Re-installation does not fix the problem.

Is there any way to completely remove this program without using the uninstaller?

According to MicroSoft (or is that MicroCrap) you cannot uninstall Media Player 7 if it is corrupted. There fix is for you to download the newest version of Media player.... which many of us don't want to do because it hijacks so much (including codecs).....
