This issue has been brought up hundreds of times.
Search through the posts before posting. It's on every page. ;)

1.) Go to the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.
Select "Windows Media Player 10" in order to rollback.


2.) If that does not roll you back, reinstall the player on top of the existing install of WMP10-beta (do not try to munge the WMP files by hand: that will just break your system- you will need to complete one extra reinstall in order to counteract that).

If you need to reboot, do so, and then again reinstall the player on top of the existing install. The rollback point will NOT be functional until you complete a reinstall of the player that does NOT require a reboot. At that point, the WMP10 rollback point in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel should be functional.

WMP10-beta also creates a System Restore point for you to use if you need it. If you had System Restore turned off, WMP10-beta showed you a message explaining that having System Restore turned off would disable your ability to roll back. While the above steps on rollback should allow you to rollback using the Add/Remove Programs method: System Restore shouldn't really be off.

Shadow what part you don't get? “The Rollback does not work" or “the restore" I have try this on 23 systems and it only worked on 7 of them. The RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\wmp.inf,Uninstall forces rollback to original OS WMP. Or is it there for same other reason? Can you help me understand?

This is why you shouldn't install beta software without a backup, and
preferably a disk image. Hundreds of people have reported problems here and
still people install the same risky build and expect to have a perfect
experience.
