Hi Vastant,

If you download and install the latest version of Windows
Media Player, it will also install codices which may resolve
the error: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/

Hi Rainer,

I would reinstall the sound card and then follow the advice
in this article which although written for Windows 2000 will
step you through the process of reinstalling Codices on XP.
