Ok, thank you Byte for all the helpful info, but it says that I have an
already updated version of WMP on the system, and I made WMP the default
player, no luck. I tried the troubleshooting thing and still no luck. I'm at
a loss...oh, and I dont know if this could be a hint to help you out or not,
but I have a program called "Cool Edit", its a music program for makinig and
recording music, and it does the exact same thing if I try to "play" or
"record" anything. This is so frustrating, I hope that little clue helped to
maybe give you an idea of what it might be. Thanks again for all your help.
