Hi All, I suddenly found that Windows Media Player would not play, which is fairly basic of course. It would launch, but no music would play.
At this point I knew I was just guessing, so I decided to do an uninstall and reinstall, but ran into a problem where the first step, running a special removal tool built into Windows, resulted in a “file not found” error message. I then decided to call the Microsoft accessibility folks, and the tech remoted in to my computer, and figured it out quickly. The cause was that I had unintentionally pressed the f7 key, which for Windows Media Player, is the mute key. What I am sure happened is that I had thought my JAWS focus was on Internet Explorer, but it was instead on Windows Media Player. When I pressed the JAWS key and f7 to get the links list, my computer ignored the JAWS key and instead executed just the f7 command. I thought I would pass this along since I can see others running into this or similar problems, and as I found out, pressing f7 in the wrong place can be a problem!
