You can download past updates at Apple.com
You can download Front Row 1.0.1, here

As i said, i need to UNINSTALL frontrow first before i can install anything else

shouldnt a new update (the 1.2.1 update) overwrite anything that the previous update installed? or at least rectify problems?

Can't you just trash your current FrontRow app and re-install from your install disc(s)?

dont you remember front row is a hidden app, if i could find it i would have trashed it. all im looking for is a rollback/uninstall tool

Find with visibilty set to "visible and invisible".
The old version won't install right over the top of the new one?

Hmmmm... that's a toughy. I'm not sure what to do other than install the 1.0 update thingy that someone posted before.

If that doesn't work... ummm... you might have to reinstall the OS.

You could try this

You could try using Toastmount to mount the DVD images for playback
http://toastmount.sourceforge.net/

You do need Toast but it should work fine in FrontRow 1.2.1 because it creates a virtual disc drive.

Wow! Slow down buddy. Not yet.
Do you want a previous version of front row, or do you want to remove front row from your computer?

Remove it, then reinstall it via the disks supplied to me by apple (not the new updated one)

Well then.
First you need to delete the Front Row.app ("Macintosh HD:System:Library:CoreServices") next you should delete the preference file ("Macintosh HD:Users:your user name:Libraryreferences" delete the file called "com.apple.frontrow.plist"

Thats one way.... If you go here you can download Front Row 1.0.1. It will write over your current version of Front Row. It doesn't matter what version you have now.

Here's the path for the Software Updates you download if you ever need to remove them.

Goto:
Your Hard Drive
Library Folder
Receipts Folder
Then look for the update that was downloaded and throw it in the trash.

Hope this helps!

The packages in your receipt folder holds the installers. Not the actual app.
Though there may still be a receipt for past Front Row updates. If you double click on a past version it'll install it.

Or if any of that fails, delete anything to do with frontrow, but write down the names of the files or something. Google search for Pacifist, and you can use that to search your original install disk for frontrow
