Windows 7Windows Media Player ver:12.0.7000.7000Issue: Privacy RelatedDetails:During the first use of Windows Media Player, users are prompted to set up privacy options, when custom settings are selected, one CANNOT opt out of the "Windows Media Player Customer Experience Improvement Program" The checkbox is checked and grayed out.If one goes to tools > options > privacy.. The same issue applies.This is a major flaw in the program, as I am sure that MANY people do not wish to share any data, and they should be given this option. IF this option is visible, but disabled, what is the point in putting it there??Please correct this issue ASAP, because until this is corrected, I will continue to use third party media players.

Saw this on the feed sites today.Despite all the shouting about Windows 7 being good enough to run as an every day OS, here's another reminder that there's still work to be done.Many users are reporting crashes during install operations, including Windows Update. Rafael Rivera of Within Windows has found the issue arises from a problem with the Software Quality Management Client. How ironic.The problem only seems to occur when machine throttling is enabled in the registry and when the Customer Experience Improvement Program is running. If you've experienced this problem, Microsoft has a workaround. Open regedit, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions and delete anything other than the default value. If you don't see the MachineThrottling value, run gpedit.msc and click Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Internet Communication Management > Internet Communication Settings and double click Turn off Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program. Tick enable and click on OK.Don't forget to submit your bugs via the Send Feedback tool. If you're excited about the Windows 7 beta you've been using, you may as well take a few seconds now and then to help improve it!
