Windows Media Player

[Rob]

Hello
Windows media player will not work on my machine, have
run the media player update with the same result. I get
the following mesage:"Windows Media Player cannot play
any items in this playlist. For additional information,
right-click an item that cannot be played, and then click
Error Details." Just about out of ideas, if anyone has
any ideas i thank you in advance. Im running an AMD
2500+, WIN XP PRO, 512MB RAM.
Thanks

Further to this post i also get this error when trying to
play an MP3:"Windows Media Player cannot play the file
because there is a problem with your sound device. There
may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it
may be in use by another program, or it may not be
functioning properly."

Everything is functioning properly on the system, i can
play anything with Musicmatch.
