-klb- Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If you don't see the help menu, I think if you right click on the background around the limited menu, you can get an option for "show classic menus" This should bring up the normal windows menu, so you can select "Help/about" and find the version number there.

Any ideas.Download it on another pc, then, burn it to a disk or thumb drive so it can be taken to the other pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwertz Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 If you go to the link below, you can choose which version you want to download. It looks like WMP 9 is the version you should use on Windows 98SE. (I didn't think we've ever clarified what operating system you are using.)http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just reading through this thread... It sounds like we're at the fish market.If you upgrade from LOR 1 to 2, all of your problems will be solved. But, you can't upgrade unless you are the original owner of the software. The reason for this, is you need the original email address to get the license key.If the software is pirated in any way, you'll never to be able to upgrade and support can be lost later down the road.

But thanks for making accusations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardhauntjunkie Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am going to check that link for the update. Thanks for the help. To the best of my knowledge I think the laptop is running plain old windows 98. So hopefully I will be able to upgrade to WMP 9.I just thought it would be nice to put the old laptop to good use and not have to buy a new one to use primarily to run my LOR show.

But thanks for making accusations.No accusations here.It helps to diagnose problems when all of the factors are know.What may help, dig through some very early threads to see what everyone was running then. I can't remember when I made the switch to LOR 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
