Confusing Windows Media Player Problem

[jzcasejz]

:sl:

It Was Working Fine Yesterday..Could Load Up Any File And Play It...

InshaAllah Someone Who Knoz What I'm Talking About Can Help Me Here...Basically Now It Plays Anything With A Sample Rate Of 22050 Or Below As Squeaky And The Sound Comez Out All Chipmunk-Like...But When Playing A Normal 44100/48000 Sample Rate File Itz All Normal...

I Tried The Microsoft Site...No Use...Anyone Know What Going Down?

:w:

The first questions. What operating system are you using and what version of Media player?

[Abdul Fattah]

I suppose you have tried looking in the option-menu if there's anything you can do from up there. If really nothing helps my next try would be to un-install and then re-install to see if the problem stays. Perhaps even do a registry cleaning inbetween un- and re-installing.

I'm Using XP With Service Pack 1 (Not 2) And It's Windows Media Player 10...

Exact Version Is WMP 10.10.10.3802

Steve just gave some good advice. Also if you are using version 11 you may want to roll back to version 10. I had some stability problems with 11 and found 10 to be much more stable.

Here is a site that can help you with that.

I just saw your post. 10 should work fine. Do as Steve said un-nstall and re-install

Thanks
Wasalam

[Abdul Fattah]

LOl, deleting files is tricky :)
Maybe you should try system-restore?
Do you know how that works?

[Shukria]

Done that...I think I messed it up even more..????

[jzcasejz]

You Said You Tried To Install Again And It Didnt Help...

Ermmm...Didnt Help What? Whatz The Actualy Problem? Like Dodgy Playback Or Media Player Crashes Or It Doesnt Open Up etc.

Whatz The Actual Problem???

[Shukria]

Can't install it at all..It says my operating system is not comptable even though I used to used that same Windows MP..

[jzcasejz]

Hmm...How About..Installing A Previous Version Of WMP..Then Deleting It..And Then Try To Freshly ReInstall The One You Had...

Or Am I just Talkin Alien Language?

[Abdul Fattah]

Done that...I think I messed it up even more..????

Euhm if system restore didn't work then I don't think there's much I can help you with. You're probably missing some files or important .dll's
There 's a menu where you can check missing dll's but I forgot where.
I would take a quick look if only I hadnd't deleted my windows and switched to linux :p

Also, this might be pointing out the bleeding obvious, but I'll ask anyway to be safe, when you did a system-restore, are you sure you took a restore-point from before you deleted those files?

Just use vlc player

[Shukria]

yea..LOL..saved my files..

[Woodrow]

Lets ask the same questions. What OS are you using and what version of WMP are you trying to install/re-install?

[Shukria]

XP Home ed. Sevice pack 2.. Tried to install any wmp...

[Woodrow]

Any attempt at installing WMP 11 will have to be removed. Go through and uninstall everything about wmp. Shut down and restart your PC

Then go to the site I mentioned above and install wmp 10.

XP with service pack 2 seems to be having some issues with WMP especialy WMP 11 and WMP 9

Jazakullah for the info..But done that no luck..For some reason it keeps saying:
"This version of Windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this version of Windows. For more information, view the information at the Microsoft web site."
