I have Windows 98SE, my sister has Vista. She wanted a .wav file that
I use for my new mail alert, so I sent it to her via email. She uses
Outlook 2003, I use Eudora. She saved the file I sent her to the
Documents folder.
All the sounds she already has associated with different things work,
but when we tried to use my mail2.wav file for her mail alert, it
wouldn't play. So I tried double clicking on the file to see if it
would play that way, and here's what the media player said:
"Windows media player cannot play file. The player might not support
the file or might not support the codec that was used to compress the
file."
Am I missing something here? I thought a .wav file was a .wav file.
Does Vista not allow users to use any other .wav files except for what
it comes with for things like the mail alert, exclamation, etc. ?? Is
there something I should have done that I didn't?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! So far Vista SUCKS, IMO.
