Re: AOL/WildTangent/ViewPoint Media Player

I would suggest you do a complete registry search for Viewpoint Media Player, as I mentioned, there were a number of other reg entries I deleted that I did not save. I grabbed the last few as hindsight during the deletion process.

For Windows XP:
Start > Run > type in regedit > Edit > Find > type in Viewpoint > click Find next.

In the right column of regedit, click on the values under "Name" to make sure it is Viewpoint Media Player, and not an entry with a similar name before deleting the entire key.

Continue clicking Find next until the screen says "Finished searching the registry."

If you find any entries, right click on the main key before it is deleted, and Copy key name to notepad, so others will know where to look as well.

Thank you Crystal, I did a search for both Viewpoint and WildTangent, and came up with same string, , regarding their respective websites, can these be deleted?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\viewpoint.com

Ditto for wildtangent. Thanks!!!;)

I don't have it in my registry anymore. Personally, I would delete it.

Thanks for the removal instructions Crystal Sky. I found Viewpoint Media sometime ago in the registry via RegSeeker and wondered what it was, how it got here and just how many media players I need!
