"The file you are attempting to play has an extension that does not
match the file format. Do you want the player to try to play the file? YES Class not registered. Web help gives: error message 80040154 " OK so now you know what error message I'm getting. Here are the details. Win 98 SE. Media Player 9.00.00.3250 with all the latest codecs, directx etc. My USB external 80G hd became unrecognizable to my system. My system only recognizes 10G now and can't see any files on the drive. I used recover4all recovery software. It recovered all of the lost files. I saved them to my hard drive and later to CDs. When I try to open any of these files I get the above error messages. Let me make myself clear. Windows Media Player works with all of my other files (mp3, wmv, avi etc.). It just can't open these 'recovered' files. The files are named correctly and are the correct file size. Everything looks fine except I can't open them. Please help me out of this dilemma. Thanks! |

It sounds like the files are corrupt and if so, you are out of luck. I
occasionally will download an MP3 file that does the same thing. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ups.com...

HI Ron,
Thanks for your reply. The files are not corrupt. I forgot to mention one more very important piece of information. I used a second file recovery software as well. This software recovered the files but did not name them at all. They are just numbered. Needless to say it would be extremely tedious to open each of over a thousand files, listen to them and then name them accordingly. This is why I have focused on the other file recovery software. The files are already named correctly. Ron Badour wrote: It sounds like the files are corrupt and if so, you are out of luck.

The files that are being recovered by Recover4All appear to be corrupt while
the files recovered by other software apparently are not. Suggest you email Recover4All and ask them for help: -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message oups.com...
