Windows Media Player-No Audio
Windows Media Player for Windows Me
I suddenly lost audio through Windows Media Player. It will not play my audio CDs. This is what I have done. I tried installing my Sound Blaster Live driver. It processed through until it stopped and sent this message: “File Driver6.CAB on Windows Me edition is needed.” At this point I did not know what to do next and aborted the driver installation. I then went to the Dell troubleshooting diagnostics for audio and it told me to search for the following files: midi=mmsystem.dll wave=mmsystem.dll I did a search and the files were not listed. The Dell diagnostics told me to contact my manufacturer if the files were missing. So, can someone assist me what to do next? Thanks, Jerry Reeder |

The file DRIVER6.CAB should be located in either C:\Windows\Options\Cabs
or possibly C:\Windows\Options\Install. If not then use Windows Explorer's search ands see if the person who installed Win Me on your PC located it elsewhere. Once located point any installer requesting this or any other Win Me cab file to this folder. Alternatively, if you have a retail copy of Win Me you will find all of the Win Me cab files located in the folder Win9x on the CD. I then went to the Dell troubleshooting diagnostics for audio and it told me to search for the following files: midi=mmsystem.dll wave=mmsystem.dll No not files but rather entries in the [drivers] section of system.ini, a plain text file located in C:\Windows. Have you considered using system restore and rolling your system back to a checkpoint created before you started having problems with WMP? -- Mike Maltby Jerry wrote: Windows Media Player for Windows Me I suddenly lost audio through Windows Media Player.

The DRIVER6.CAB file *should* be located in C:\Windows\Options\Instal or
CABS folder. (As yours is an OEM [Dell] version of WinMe, then it's probably in the CABS folder - BUT not necessarily). You might need to direct or navigate the installation process there.

Thanks, Jerry Reeder Thanks Mike and Mart - The System Restore fixed the problem. I should have thought of that. Jerry |
