WMP11 (Vista) faulty

[Guest]

My WMP11 has spontaenously "broke" so to say. Previously, in the Library tab,
when I left clicked on a playlist, the contents of that playlist would appear
in the main section and I would be able to select individual songs to play,
re-name songs, rate songs etc but now that's all changed for some reason.
When I create a playlist, the new playlist is in the playlist folder but does
not appear in the playlist list (It's been expanded so all playlists show
also).

When I left click on a playlist the main section of the library tab doesn't
change and the only way I can see the contents of the playlist (whilst still
under the Library tab) is to double click on a playlist to start it playing
then click on the "Now Playing" icon further down the collapasable tree
section. Also I can no longer re-name songs and I can't rate songs anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix my problem, any help would be greatly
appreciated as it's starting to annoy me. Also is there a way to re-install
WMP11?

Video card drivers are probably faulty, try downloading and installing
new updated ones. Also go here and download the latest Direct X
drivers from MS. They change about every 30 to 60 days:

Just wondering but how are my video card drivers related to viewing
playlists? I've got the April release version of the Direct X drivers and I
haven't had any problems with WMP11 and my video card drivers in the past.

Those symptoms seem to be indicative of a library corruption - does

reset you back to normal?

Yep, that has fixed the problem, thank you for the help.
