After SP2 Media Player won't open wave files

[MAT]

Could you please tell me how to open wave files with Windows Media Player.
Wave files won't open after installation of XP SP2 and using Windows Media
Player 9 before and after SP2. I have reinstalled Windows Media Player 9
without effect. For the moment I'm using Creative WaveStudio to open my wave
files (1411 kbps, 16 bit, 44 kHz, stereo, PCM).
For the moment I won't upgrade to Windows Media Player 10.

Sincerely

Ok. Don't get WMP 10. I don't see why not though. It probably will fix
your problem. It works fine on mine.

Have you looked in the file-types-to-play part of WMP 9? Perhaps the .wav
box is unchecked ?

I'm using a danish Windows XP, WMP 10 is not yet released in danish, and
Microsoft recommend not to install a non-danish version.

box is unchecked ?

Yes, I have checked that *.wav is not unchecked.

Further I have tested the *.wav files (different types of wave-files (8/16
bit, mono/stereo, 88 kbps/1411 kbps, sampling 11/44 kHz) in the folder
\Microsoft Office\Office10\Media and none of them Windows Media Player 9 can
open after installation of XP SP2.

Go to Media Players Tools - Options - File Types (you may need to use
Ctrl M to show the menu bar). Check the boxes for the types you want to
load in Media Player; making sure it does not grab types where you may
want to use something else. WAV files is the seventh box down
