What about this:
.......search for the file "Srchasst.inf" and it may be in a
hidden folder. Right-click the file and "install".
I still don't know the error message you're seeing when WMP
tries to play a file.
If you know the registry key where something is missing, post
it and I can compare it to mine.

Yes I did check the version number of the file and tried
reinstalling it
as well. Plus I tried deleting the 2 XSL files and running the
commands
to reset them but it didn't work.
It seems this one missing entry in the registry is so
problematic.
Thanks again,
