Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / July 2008WMP11 Windows Vista Home Premium
Hi There, new to this group: I am trying to get my WMP11 to play downloaded (.mp3's). In the Technical Support Information section under the Audio Codecs area it says that it supports - type DMO; MP3 Decoder DMO; Format 0055;Binary-MP3dmod.dll;Ver.-11.0.6001.7000? Does that mean it should support playing downloaded MP3's? Cause it does not. It gives me an error message saying: "The file you are attempting to play has an extension (.mp3) that does not match the file format. Playing the file may result in unexpected behavior. Do you want the Player to try to play this content." Yes or No When I click on - Yes - Internet Explorer opens with another security warning box advising me - file download - do you want to save this file - Name: Play-MP3.exe Type: Application,97.8KB From: www.fastmp3player.com When I click run - then another security warning box comes up and advises me that the publisher couldn't be verified and is unknown and boots me out. So what gives? Any ideas, suggestions? I'm not an computer whiz by any means and I'm really getting frustrated with all this mumble jumble I just want to download so good old rock and roll. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks  SignatureBev G > Hi There, new to this group: > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Thanks the fix is to go back to XP......... Did you read the original post? I've cropped it down to the actual problem, which has nothing to do with OS advocacy and everything to do with the site pushing down an EXE when an MP3 was expected. Every player everywhere in the universe should fail when that happens. It'll fail on XP too. This is a feature. =) SignatureSpeaking for myself only.

Um, that's not an MP3 file. That's somebody trying to trick you into using their player. This error message is correct. You probably would want to try a different site that doesn't try to pull a fast one on you. SignatureSpeaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

If not, how do i stop this from happening. Delete that content and don't trust the source that tried to give it to you. You probably just saved your computer from being hijacked. Run away from doing business with those people. What part of "evil people" is confusing here? Shady people doing shady things to others will often continue onwards to do other shady things to you.
