a good while ago, I had a discussion with a friend about sound files. Neither of us knowlegable enough to do either one any good! But we were both having problems- sort of interconnected. I would go to her web site and not get sound - and she was using wmp - and I was too - but her site came up saying crecscendo - which she didn't have - but told me to download it - I'm not sure what ever really happened to be honest - I ended up upgrading to the new wmp 9.0 from my old one - and my problems all got solved. I joked, as I have of other older versions of programs, that there is a 'jinx' put on older programs when newer versions come out, that stop them from working! I think my friend updated also. We are both running winXP - very similar systems, and it is odd how different they truly are. I have real one player on here - I don't want it, but certain web sites I visit require it. I have disabled (hopefully) the spyware in it, and stop it all of the time from trying to self initiate itself - I had wondered if it threw a wrench into my other players and sound. I feel for you - and hope that you get it all worked out some way. I know how frustrating it is.

I do think it has to be wmp because all the other programs have sound. I have a sound recorder program "Silent-bob" that was working but now when I try to use it on the programs that have sound it says Bad Format.
