I have a cd which i burnt mp3's to before i had xp home
installed.
The cd will play the mp3's through the dvd player,stereo
and xbox but when i try to play it on my pc a notice
comes up saying "Please go to Control Panel to Instal and
Configure system components." There are no attachments
and it doesnt tell you where to go once in the control
panel section,all it has is a "OK" button.

Click to expand...

A few things to try :

Make sure WMP is installed - Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programmes >
Add/Remove Windows Componants > Tick Windows Media Player and Install it.
Upgrade to WMP9 if necessary.

Make sure your soundcard drivers are XP specific. If not, download from the
card's manufacturer's website. Make sure DirectX is up to date (version 9b).

Try using a 3rd party programme eg. WinAmp - its free. Does that work ?

Can you play wave files (eg. system sounds) ? If not right click on the
loudspeaker icone in the Systray and make sure wave/mp3 is not muted and
that the slider is all the way up.

Did you upgrade or do a clean install of XP Home ?

Cheers,
Jerry
