Windows Forum / Outlook Express / Stationery / February 2004Help on WMP player
Today when I try to play my WMP9 I get this error for every song: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly." I did do a Creative Technology Ltd. multimedia software update and ATI Technologies Inc. display software update yesterday...could the updates have caused the problem? Hi Jacquie, Last month when I did a Nvidia 2+MB update it screwed up my computer, and after a lot of end zone scratching, I re-installed with original CD, not accepting any of later files I had. Solved my problem . . . . Not saying it is the same with your Creative . . . . Best regards Gus : Today when I try to play my WMP9 I get this error for every song: : [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] : and ATI Technologies Inc. display software update yesterday...could the : updates have caused the problem? Yes, I would uninstall the Creative drivers and reinstall the previous ones. Sound drivers and video drivers can be so picky. -- Greg Campbell computerpotatoZZZ@ZZZcableone.net > Today when I try to play my WMP9 I get this error for every song: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > and ATI Technologies Inc. display software update yesterday...could the > updates have caused the problem? Hi Jacquie, Sorry to hear this. My guess would be that the Creative update you did has caused the problem. If I remember correctly you have a Dell. Go to the Dell Sollution Center icon on your machine and open it up click on Support||Tell me how||Device Guides||Sound Blaster||TroubleShooting There should be instruction for Uninstall and Reinstalling Audio Drivers. Good luck, Don > Today when I try to play my WMP9 I get this error for every song: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > and ATI Technologies Inc. display software update yesterday...could the > updates have caused the problem? Well I uninstalled and reinstalled my Sound Blaster. Still doesn't work...it plays midi's and wavs but not MP3's or wma's. Guess I'll have to call Dell ...Hope I can get somebody with a accent that I can understand...:) I fixed it by doing a restore..Thanks Guys:) Yippie!! It's always a good idea to make a Restore point before installing anything. Don > I fixed it by doing a restore..Thanks Guys:) That's for sure...I was going nuts not being able to listen to music while I was figuring out what to do for stationery...Music is very important to me to get the juices flowing:) |
