I do belive that is one of the major faults you are having with your win media player..... missing drivers or bad ones... and you do ned the full instalation files for your hardware as the windows cd doesnt have them all that you may need.....Chuck... in Ok UNSUBSCRIBE by sending email to triadtechtalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in the Subject field.
