Hey I did get to watch a DVD and listen to a CD today! Didn't ust WMP at
all. Tried Cyberlink and reinstalled the SP2 and yes got some Media.
Sounded great and looked great. Haven't messed with the WMP, Sonic issue at
all. Dell told me I was gonna have to do a full re-format. I thought oh no
I'm not, have done that way to many times and this computer was bought new
Jan. 04! Thanks for your time and let me know what you think about how I
resolved my issues. OK?
