RE: Add to Library -> By Monitoring Folders

I stated the way to ADD them, you did not state "how YOU added them",
thus I gave you the steps to do just that. But, sorry, it looks like you may
have some corrupt or missing files within WMP10. Yes, I am very familiar
with the Media Player, thanks. The only one recommendation I have left
is to download a "fresh" copy of it and reinstall it overtop of itself. DO
NOT
delete or uninstall your old copy for it is designed that way. Hope this
will solve your situation. :~)
