Are Windows Media Player 9 and Nero 5.5 compatible? I ask because WMP9 now has Roxio CD burner embedded in it and there's no means to remove it. I want to continue using Nero as my principal CD/DVD burner.

Note that I use Win2K, not WinXP.

You can refer first to this about the plugin for WMP and Nero (didn't check, but think it works for W2K): http://www.wmplugins.com/itemdetail.aspx?itemid=228
Then, of course, there is Windows take on it: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03september16.mspx

Sampson, thanks for that but I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle. I don't want a plug-in for WMP, I simply want to REMOVE the Roxio burner that's embedded in WMP9, because, as I see it, you must never have installed a second burner when you already have Nero. The two will conflict.

Simple, go into the Services.msc applet and disable the IMAPI Service and there you go

You will not be able to burn directly from WMP however you still can burn any rips made from WMP with NERO.

Sorry. I've never had the Roxio software interfere with the Nero burning software. I've never uninstalled the Roxio from WMP9.0 on my W2K machine. I thought that you wanted to burn something using your WMP player using Nero instead of Roxio. Will try to read the request more closely next time.

if you want to download windows media player 9 just go to www.microsoft.com and go to updates

The built-in burning (Roxio) will not interfere with Nero.
