I seem to be able to play mp3's with the goofy realtek player but I had
gotten used to the wma player. But the WMA player plays for a few minutes
and then sputters and dies.

Any ideas? I tried moving the accelerator sliders all the way back to the
left and that did nothing. The driver I have is supposedly correct and the
latest. What else is there to look at?

Windows doesn't use the same driver/filters for all the various ways of
making sound so it's not uncommon to find that one works when the other
doesn't.

Possibilities, in order of most common:

Wrong driver or fouled installation
DX(9) problem
WMP problem

Windows update isn't all knowledgeable and if you installed a driver not
quite right for the particular realtek hardware it won't necessarily find a
better one.

I'm suggesting you recheck that the one you installed really is for that
hardware,
That's my last ME update to put on. Will do as soon as i get back from
work.




Like what tho?
