How Do I Get The "All Play" Button To Work My Music Folder?

After uninstalling a game, I had trouble playing a music subfolder. I
couldn't even delete it. I discovered that when I raised it to "My Music"
folder or to my desktop, I could play it. I couldn't use system restore
because I forgot that the defragmenter was set automatically to run and had
made the restore points unusable. A dell technician helped me run console
recovery and it didn't help. Then, we did a direct repair and that didn't
help. I refused to do a complete re-installation of xp because I've had
experience doing that and it is time consuming to say the least. So, I left
it over night and the next morning, when I logged on and attempted to play
the music sub-folder, it worked. Later in the week when I clicked the "all
play" button in my music folder, I got the error message: "Unable to find a
playable file". Out of curiosity, I clicked a single file and it played. I
discovered that my other media folder had the same problem. I would get the
same message when I clicked the "all play" button in my video folder, but
both would work for individual files.
A dell technician helped me run a console recovery and it worked for my
video folder but not my music folder. He suggested to run the program sfc
/scannow with the OS disc but that didn't help. So, can anyone suggest how
to get the "all play" button to work in my music folder without
re-installing the OS?
 
What game?
