Re: Need help! Windows Media Player 11 (vista) cannot play WAV file

Actually, everything was working fine, except a movie with can play in any
other player except WMP. I checked everything on the file and found out that
VirtualDub uses the normal MP3 codec installed on my laptop.

Anyway, I goes on trying various CODEC (Lame MP3, AC3Filter, and so on).
Then, later uninstalled most of them except Lame MP3 and AC3Filter.

Now, when I tried to play any WAV files (which previously working), WMP just
open it, and sit there doing nothing. Clicking the play button change it to
pause button, but the "playing bar" does not even move.

Any idea?
