Dear All

I am slowly going crazy with ceplayer.exe! I am trying to play a .wav file
which exists in the windows folder and can be played via the control panel
applet 'Volume and Sounds' however ceplayer.exe gives the following error:

Cannot open \windows\wstartup.wav. Please verify that the path and filename
are correct and try again. (0x80040216)

I have debugged ceplayer.exe up to the point where it goes off into who
knows where... and the filename and path are correct.

I have added directshow and the various codecs to the platform. I have even
tried playing a wav file which is part of the platform and not mine (just in
case) but the same error appears :(

I would also like to inform you that my QFE's are currently upto date.

Any Ideas...

Please accept my gratitude if you do :)

Regards...

P.

I have embedded a copy of the call stack just before the point where the
error dialog appears:
