Sonia,
Thanks - Here is what happened...
1. I am running XP, so I followed your directions on the changes to the
Registry settings. Everything was correct, but it was missing two strings -
Result: Problem still existed
2. I moved the files to a test folder on the C drive. Result: The played
just fine. So the problem was the path was too long.
Thanks for solving my problem!!
