music and sound effects comes out of the rear left and right speakers.

I use Windows Media Player to play video files. The first time I did this I
had sound only and no picture, but someone here directed me to a Dvx (or was
it Dvi?) codec that solved that problem. After that I'd been happily watching
many video files, but I just tried to play a new ...

I am running Windows XP Home edition and when I try to install WMP I get  the
follwoing error message:
"This version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this
version of Windows."

I am trying to remove all for my library to reload.  WMP automatically

WMP11 on X64 with no problems.
