Hi, George and All,
Just to say that my friend has reinstalled WMP version 10 which has
overwritten the version 11 beta.
It was definitely the beta causing the problem because I can now access my
downloaded audio books since I can get licence validation.
Just thought I should warn against the beta.
Best wishes,
Joan.
