What happens with regular MP3s? How about WMA files? How about WAV files?

No it doesn't play mp3s correctly, nor WMVS, but it will play AVIs and
MPGs
just fine.

To be clear, regular audio files work correctly, right?

There is only an error in the sound section saying the driver is
unsigned.
Everything else has no errors.

I checked under options menu and directx acceleration was still
checked,
I
tried unchecking and rechecking it. I also check my display settings
and
it
says it is Generic Monitor on my Geforce card so it seems to be
detecting
my
graphics card just fine. Anything else I can try? It also won't have
any
audio on mp3s and it seems like avis are busted too.

Hello,

I recently was watching a WMV and it crashed Windows Media Player
and
since
it was in full screen mode, it crashed my computer. Then I
restarted
the
computer and now all movies play really slow in Windows Media
Player.
they
play fine in all other players and I have ran a virus scan and
spyware
scans
and they all come up clean. Is there any way to fix this or repair
Windows
Media Player without having to do any restoring?

I am running on 32-Bit VISTA Machine with Windows Media Player 11
and
Vista
Service Pack 1.


My guess would be something has either disabled the DXVA (video
acceleration) setting in WMP itself, as a result of the crash, or
the
display drivers themselves have been detected as incompatible or
somehow broken, and Vista has switched those off and gone to
generic
drivers for the display - that would have the effect you describe.

HTH
Cheers - Neil
