It's me again, the guy in need of "WMP11 for Idiots", I guess ... all I'm
trying to get to is "Tasks" so I can get to "Settings" -- and I simply can't
locate them.  When I open the player, I have tabs for Now Playing, Library,

This is basic question.  I would like to know if the number of audio devices
on a Vista machine is limited to 32 as with XP?  Has the limit been raised or

I'm not sure what did it but for some reason my video thumbnails have just
become icons and all of the settings on my computer seem to be good.  I even
