| | STILL having problems with Media Player=HELP Still having problems and Microsoft cannot help. They said I am creating WMA when I should be creating CDA.... Well, ALL was working fine a month and 1/2 ago..I did do a Media Player update in Nov. ( this thing stopped working mid Nov) and I cannot do a system restore as HORRID VISTA will only let you go back ONE month- NOT LIKE xp where you can pick any calendar date as a restore point. I am scared to do a system restore as I think I might create even MORE PROBLEMS than I already have. DO I go back to the date closest to today or go back a full month if I try a system restore..??? I don't want to lose restore points if I need them later.... So far MICROSOFT at $59 cannot help at all..........this sooooooo sucks |

| | Re: STILL having problems with Media Player=HELP Microsoft had me put the newly recorded CD's ( which do NOT play on my own CD player) back into the computer's cd/dvd slip- it did play in there as a wma AND not as a CDA ( which is what I previously was getting when I burned a CD for my free standing CD player)...they cannot help me.. If you know any way to help, I am all ears..by the way. Toshiba had me try to create a CDA in their Create CD and it ALSO came out as a WMA and NOT a CDA. Any ideas as I am frazzled...........

| | Re: STILL having problems with Media Player=HELP John- With VISTA, the system restore only goes back ONE MONTH... it is normal with XP as you can pick any date on the calendar year, but Vista from HELL does not work like a normal system...It totally sucks and I HATE it...It has been nothing but problems since I got it last Jan. BTW- the notify me of replies does work but you have to CHECK the little box on the lower left every time you answer a post and want a reply sent to u............
