I have the same problem with Vista, and each time I try to repair or
reinstall WMP I can messages that I have to reinstall all of Vista, which
Sony did not give me! I wish I had bought Apple!

wmp was playing fine earlier and now says cannot play file. I didn't even
turn computer off just walked away and when i came back everything was
changed. do i need codecs? if so how do i find the right ones? and why might
this have happened? how did this happen when i didn't do anything? can i
prevent it from happening again?
