So this has been frustrating me to no end. I'll try to watch some video on some site and it'll tell me that I need windows media player 9 installed to view. I install it and everything is fine. Then I'll be on another site and it'll tell me it needs windows media player 10 installed. I do so thinking it's an upgrade, then yet another site will require version 9 again. Is there no end to this madness? Why is 10 not backwards compatible?!?!
 
I don't know why they would say you need version 9. Ever since I went up to WMP10 I've never been told that I need to use Media Player 9

But anything that says you need v10 is usually because of DRM. WMP10 lets you play DRM video that can't be played in WMP9
