Damndest thing.. i THINK it started after SP2 of XP but cant
 honestly say problem wasnt there 2 weeks before. Problem wasnt
 there 1 month before though. (last time I played an MP3 pre-sp2).

Basically, when I click on an MP3 file, I get about 1 second
 of audio, then nada. Same behavior with winamp and MS-media
 player. The MP3s are OK..Ive burnt them to cd and play them
 on another PC without issue.

When I use winamp, the process dies. I can close winamp but its
 still active in task manager..

WTF? Any ideas folks?
