My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

[JPS]

Everytime I try to play a song now, it gives me a red circle with a white x and refuses to play the song, has anyone else had this problem? The program is completely up to date and it started doing it for no reason all of a sudden.

Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct.

The file is closed, its a local computer not on a network, and I havent touched the proxy's

All that means is that you moved the files, usually.

Re: My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

I havent moved the files, actually I cleared out all the files after I got the message and had WMP search and retrieve them again and I still get the same error message

This happened to me after installing an update or something, but I was left with no sound on my pc what so ever. After a few day's, it all went back to normal.

???

And yes, I did turn the sound on.

Re: My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

What hito said, you might just want to delete the playlist and start over because a file or folder may have been moved/renamed

Don't touch WinAmp.

On a different note. Why are you using a Screen Capture utility instead of good ole' Prnt Scrn?

Vista has an even better thing than Print Screen.

And WinAmp is awesome, but if you like WMP don't abandon it.

I'll be the one to say it:

Maybe you should try iTunes?

[JPS]

Re: My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

I dont really want a new media player, Id like to fix whats broken, but Im willing to try iTunes since all the other suggestions hasnt bore any fruit

Re: My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

itunes isnt bad but i find apple to be evil beyond reproach. winamp is quick and dirty and wont harass you with a latest version every other week. the interface is rediculessly simple and just works.

Does any other sound on your pc work?

Uninstall it and reinstall it?

[Perversion]

Re: My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

Besides the fact that I would not really know what to suggest as a media player, as I myself use WMP, even if I did, I wouldn't suggest it to you. You're better off listening to crickets chirping than what's in your library.

Re: My Windows Media Player is dying...help!

Do you have anything positive to say anymore to anyone? What happened to the old perv?

Anyways, to JVR, no, in fact I dont have any sound at all now except on web pages, and the programs list doesnt have WMP for me to uninstall, or a uninstall program that Im aware of, and any other WMP program wont install because it says I have a current version and have to uninstall that first.
