- "windows media player cannot play the file. if the filwe is on another
computer, verify that you are connected to the network. if you typed in a
path, verify that it is correct".
This error message is most likely caused when there is a file system change
like renaming a folder, file, drive letter etc. and you try to play a file
from the Windows Media Player (WMP) Library or Playlist which saves loaded
files to its own directory.
If this is the case then ther are two options:
one:
right click the erroneuos file inside WMP and click error details, this
should bring up a dialog box allowing you to manually find the file.
Two
find the original files and open them by double clicking or from the right
click context menu. You can also turn on 'monitor folders' which notes
changes within the selected folders to prevent his from happening again
(unless you delete them). To do this select 'tools' from options menu >
Library (tab)> moniter folders and add any folders you want WMP to moniter.
Hope this helped.

First up the the file is on the actual computer! Also have a copy on disc.
And I'm connected to the network anyway. The path is correct. I checked it.
Still nothing...
