Re: Windows Media Player error "cannot play file"


Hm:
Error Number: 3222091444 (0xC00D36B4)
Symbolic Name: MF_E_INVALIDMEDIATYPE
Text description: The data specified for the media type is invalid,
inconsistent, or not supported by this object.

What's the extent of this error? What *is* working, and what is failing?
Are local audio files broken? Do MP3, WAV, MPEG, or WMA files work?

What changed previous to this happening... ?
What are the results of WMP's Help:About:Technical Support Information menu
tool?
