Does anyone know how to bypass the restriction of Windows Media Player 10 &
MSN Messenger 7.5 not allowing us to install on Windows 2000? Am sure it's
compatitible... but the programmers wrote a restriction of only allowing XP
users to install WMP10 and MSN7.5

MSN Messenger you can cheat with... Install it on an XP system. Copy the
entire folder from the program files folder and it works. I don't know if
that works with WMP or not. I'm also pretty sure that it's in violation of
the EULA? Well, maybe not, but it might be... So, read that bit before doing
so I guess.
