Windows Me and XP users must rely on a feature called "System Restore" to roll back their Windows installation to a time before they installed Media Player 9 Series if the want to uninstall it. The clunky alternative doesn't really remove all Windows Media Player 9 Series files and could potentially wipe out other system changes.

If you have a file with an .avi extension and WMP won't play it,
there's a 90% chance the file is DivX. You can get the codec at
http://download.divx.com/divx/DivX511.exe and this should allow WMP to
play your file.
