Ive been using Windows Media Player to play music and the
other day I decided to insert some .wav files in the
sound manager and all of a sudden the Media player
started skipping then just died. I restarted and the
music came back but to later die out again. I tried
shutting down and starting back up but the timer on the
player just skipped along 20 or more seconds at a time
and didnt play anything. I shut down and now the timer
goes normally but no sound output. I tried playing music
in Winamp and it wont play anything either. But the
system sounds still work when im closing opening windows
etc. I've had XP for months now and it has workedfine up
until now. Everything is connected right and I don't open
email attachments or anything like that. Theres alot of
adware/spyware on my system. Could that be the problem?
If you know anything please dont hesitate to tell me.
Thanks Tony

I wouldn't have thought the spyware could affect your sound card ! However
do run AdAware and Spybot regularly to get rid of it all.

Re-install or upgrade to WMP9. If that doesn't work try using system restore
to go back to a point when your WMP did work correctly.

Where exactly did you insert the sound files ? In the \windows\media folder
? They may be corrupt. Get rid of them, then re-record them.

Cheers,
Jerry
