Trying to play music previously downloaded, keep getting the following message Driver may be corrupted or missing code(39), What does this mean? and how do I correct?
 
Jenny.

Do you get the normal Windows sounds from the computer?
Did the music files play originally or have they never played.
Do you know what format the files are in eg MP3, wav etc, and a codec is a bit of software necessary to play files (usually video/music clips).
You may have to reinstall the driver for the sound hardware on the computer, so if you had a cd for the motherboard try re-installing the sound drivers from there.
If you can let us have a bit more info about the machine eg make of motherboard, other people may be able to help you more.

Find the applications CD that came with the motherboard or the computer and re-install the audio files.
