How long have you been having problems with Windows Media Player? Unless
very recent system restore isn't the answer. First though check that your
sound card is installed properly and functioning correctly. When you
open the Device Manager (Control Panel | System) and expand Sound, video
and game controllers (click the + sign), can you see your sound card/chip
listed? Does its properties sheet tell you anything?
If the sound card is AOK in the device manager, test that it is working.
You can do this as follows: Control Panel | Sounds and Multimedia, select
a sound in the Sounds tab and click Play (the button alongside the drop
down Name box). Do you hear the selected sound?

I thought this would have fixed a problem I had with the media player
(9) but when I try to play a video I get an error message OxCOOD11BA
(cant find file) ,
and when I play audio it says OxCOOD1197(problem with sound card),
should I try system restore to fix the media player or down load
another player ?
thanks Mike ,
I got this pc a week ago , the video was working but I didnt check the
audio , now only a few of the video files are working .
upon checking -
The device manager says - Crystal WMD audio codec is working properly ,
but in sounds and multimedia properties it says Crystal WMD - audio codec
driver is disabled ,
then further on - audio for crystal codec - driver is enabled but inactive
due to unknown problem.
