This worked first time thanks.
I also have second PC running ME, 128 meg RAM and the same version of WMP9.
this PC has a CD ROM and a second CD rewriter. It was doing exactly the same
as the previous PC. I have followed the same instructions but it is still not
playing the CDs. In the instructions to change the registary values, you say
I have to set the registary values of the "CDPlayDigital and CDRecordDigital
to REG_DWORD 0.
