Metadata in MP3 files in XP Pro

Something changed -- I don't know what. I was able to hover over an mp3 file
and XP would provide metadata such as artist and album. I added three mp3
files last night and I cannot see the metadata. I started checking around
and I can no longer see metadata for any of my mp3 files. I first noticed
the problem in WMP 10 so I started checking from the OS level. I tried to
recreate the entire WMP DB and now all i have is song titles.

I checked on my XP Home system and i am able to see the tags just fine. I
installed a metadata editor on my XP Pro box and the metadata is there.

Is there some sort of switch so that XP and WMP 10 will recognize the tags?

Thanks
 
The problem has gone away.

Please see the reasoning in microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player, thread MP3
metadata not visible
