You couldn't PAY me to install Media Player 8...but not because of any of this. Twice now, since it came out I have tried to "upgrade" to it, and on BOTH occasions, after the install, my PC needed to reboot, which is normal. On BOTH occasions, the reboot crashed. After waiting quite a while to see what would happen, I manually shut it off and then turned it back on. And was greeted by the simple message: Operating system not found (maybe not detected). Which of course led to a complete reinstall of Win 98, losing everything on my C drive and all the registry entries for programs on my other drives. The first time it happened, I thought it must have been a fluke, so I tried again...same thing. No Media Player 8 for me, thank you...
