https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/windows-media-player-acting-up-on-pavilion-8700-help-needed/m-p/2865598#M3080 I recently started having problems with Windows media player 6.0. It has been working fine for last 2 years but now it plays only MIDI files but freezes up computer when I tried to play WAV, MP3 etc., I downloaded a recent version of player and installed it but the same problem persists. Short of reformatting the hard drive could some one suggest a solution to this problem. Appreciate your help.

Xmms should be fine to read wav, mp3 and mplayer would play most movie formats.<BR /><BR />Good luck.<BR /><BR />Kodjo<BR /> Tue, 17 Dec 2002 21:07:37 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/windows-media-player-acting-up-on-pavilion-8700-help-needed/m-p/2865599#M3081 Kodjo Agbenu 2002-12-17T21:07:37Z
