Xplay?????

Running Vista Home Prem 32bit...

Got popup message; Windows Desktop Manager Stopped working, selected check
for solutions Online. Window appeared advising problem caused by
xplay...created by Mediafour...and suggested I download and Install the xplay
Update ver 3.11. I have never heard of Xplay. Since the suggested download
was an Update, I did a search on my PC for Xplay...and it came back with
nothing.

What is this software? Do I need it....should I install it?

What is Xplay?

I just received the same message. I don't use itunes, but I do have an old
ipod that I simply charge through the USB port (have been for several
months). I've never had this message before, why now?

Ditto. I've rec'd the same message. Don't have an ipod (never have);
nor any thing similar. My *only* thought is maybe it has to do with a
Quicktime update that included itunes, which I promplty deleted the
installed itunes software (have no need for it), but I wonder if it
could've left something behind. Is there *any* other explanation? Do I
need to install this Xplay program that Vista is telling me to
install???

TIA

I don't have an iPod or an iPhone and I never installed this, yet I
get this error too on Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.

I went to mediafour.com and went to their support page and asked them
how to remove it and explained that I never installed it and don't
want it. I suggest everyone else do the same.

I did this just a few minutes ago, so I don't have a response from
them yet, of course.
