windows media player

There are 2 options you can take.

Option 1)
Click start > run and type into the open box:
mplayer2
click ok and the old version (6.4) will open.
Go View > Options > |formats| and select wav or the formats you wish media
player 6.4 to work with. Click apply then ok.

Next time you open a wave file in internet explorer, it will open the
default player for that format which you have just set to Media Player 6.4

Option 2)
Instead of clicking on the link to open the wave file, right click on the
link and select 'save target as'. Save it and IE will begin downloading it.
You can then open it in which ever media player you like to play it offline.

The Media Player page is shown. But no visuals or sounds although the
indicator shows play is happening and the name of the music is shown. This
all since the hard drive was replaced. Never imagined so many problems
would be evident after the new drive.

It seems that only the MIDI files are the problem. Other files are being
played by Windows Media Player. And, yes, there is a checkmark for the MIDI
files to be played. Any suggestions?

How can I get the visualizations to work in Windows Media Player? I've
tried going to "view" and checking them but there still are no
visualizations. Thanks.

Greetings All !
Well, I've been fighting with my first Virus, first Trojan Horse and first
Home Page Hijacker. Hopefully , They are all gone, but only time will tell.
I've just noticed a new problem , my Windows Media Player is not
functioning.
Click on it in All Programs and I get a single "beep" , but no further
action.
Don't know if this has anything to do with the " bugs " I've been fighting ,
or not, so thought I'd post with the problem. Possibly I deleted something
that I shouldn't have. Just can't be sure at this point.
Am using Windows XPsp1 with all updates available up through today.
All virus protection and etc., also up to date.
I know this isn't much to work with but if anyone has any ideas or can give
me a clue about what to look for , or what info to post with , I would be
grateful.

Viruses typically destroy legitimate files. The longer they are on the
system, the more files they can damage. Trojan horses are programs
with specific purposes. Some will replace legitimate files with altered
files of the same name. Some will also include a dropper virus that also
damage files over time. This is why it's so important to stay vigilant and
up to date against these things and to remove them as soon as possible.

After cleaning a virus from the system, it's not unheard of to find out
that there are some legitimate files that need replacing or to discover a
damaged feature or program.

Since the resulting damage in your case seems limited to Media Player, you
could try reinstalling it. Media Player 9 is the newer version of this program
and can be installed separately from the operating system.

PS: If you eventually find other things wrong with your Windows setup, you
may want to consider running System File Checker (SFC.EXE) or perform a
repair install.

Sharon F;
Thanks so much for your reply.
As you probably expected , by answering a question you are asked even more
questions and this is no exception. I'm sure it is apparent that I am one
dumb Okie and my computer expertise is only rivaled by my experience with
splitting an atom.
1) When downloading and reinstalling Windows Media Player, should the old
Media Player first be deleted using Add/Remove Programs ?

2) Is the way to System File Checker--- Start>Run>SFC.EXE ? And am I likely
to know what to do once I am there ?

3) Would you mind recommending a tutorial on Repair Install procedures,
just in the event I'm likely to be required to do so.

I suppose I could claim to have demensia, and probably do. However, that has
yet to be diagnosed.

Too old soon , Too late Smart.

Again , thank you .
