Can anyone help? I have a new PC with Vista, but WMP11 will not play
.wma files. It displays them in the library but when I click on a track
to play nothing happens; just a small red dot appears next to the track
name.

It does play mp3 files with no problem.

I can, however, play the .wma files using RealPlayer, so I know they
are not corrupted. The files were originally ripped from my own CDs
using AudioGrabber on WinXP.

I want to use WMP but for now I am forced to use RealPlayer for
listening to my music collection.

If anyone can help I would be very grateful!

Adrian.

If you click on the red dot, can you get Error Details? What are those?
