| | Re: Media player problem I've had that happen a few times. Pull up Task Manager (right click on task bar and select Task Manager or hit Ctl-Alt-Del) and look for wmplayer.exe and kill the process. The double click on your media file again and it should load.

| | Re: Media player problem That isn't the problem it's not starting at all. There is no sign of it in Task Manager at all. That is the first place I checked. I'm almost ready to reload the whole OS. "Scott Glasgow" wrote: > I've had that happen a few times.

| | Re: Media player problem I had a similar problem, where windows media player didn't open in vista. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, which solved that problem, but now nothing plays; whether streamed off urge or preinstalled with vista and WMP 11. Any suggestions? Admitadly, windows update advisor told me that my internal sound card would not be recognized, but I switched over to USB speakers with still no luck.
