Every time I try to play an MP3 file in Windows Media
Player 9.00, I get the following error message:
"
The audio codec identified by the format tag 55 is
required to play this file. To determine if this codec is
available to download from the Web, click Web Help."

If I click Web Help as directed, I can't find anything on
this format tag 55 codec.

Any suggestions as to how to resolve this or a work-
around to let me play MP3 files?
