have you installed the latest wmp 9 from windows update? Windows Media Player 9 Registry Toolkit. Beware installing the new media player from Microsoft until you read this page!!! The new player limits your ability to send and receive stationery. If you choose to install the new player, you will need the WMP9 Registry Toolkit to surmount these problems. http://www.ohmster.com/~billscott/ http://www.ohmster.com/~billscott/wmp9toolkit.htm CrisS ----- Original Message ----- From: Hank To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, September 01, 2003 2:48 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Sound trouble Hi, I have lost my sound to the WMP, all the other sounds work, Real Player, The mail sound and I can open the Windows recorder and play the wav files but if I try to play them with the windows media player I get the error message . Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available (Error=40258). I have reinstalled the sound card drivers and the WMP 4.7 and the WMP 7.1 and I can't get either to work, Same error. Anyone know what else I can try?
