What is the status of your WMP and other issues? Have you had any luck?
1. I have given up on fixing the WMP issue of playing audio on some WMV files
and not on others,
while the audio does play when using VLP. I have given up because I have not
been able
to fine any solution.
2. After I tried downloading and installing the latest audio drivers from
Creative, something
went awry and I was receiving an error loading P17.dll message upon
rebooting.
It turns out that this dll was being called for in the system startup.
I just unchecked its box and it no longer tries to load. This did not
cause any other problems.
3. In trying to solve problem 2 above, I also attempted to run a system
restore,
but at the end of each attempt I was told that the restore was unsuccessful. I
tried this
on something like 4 or 5 different restore points. I have not yet solved
that problem, but
I did find a suggested solution (which I haven't yet implemented, but will
shortly).
The solution is to turn off creation of all restore points, reboot, and then
turn it back on.
This will remove all previous restore points and start fresh, apparently
problem-free.
(To accomplish this on XP: right click on My Computer/Properties/System
Restore/check Turn off
System Restore On All Drives. Then reboot, then go through the same steps but
this time unchecking
the Turn Off... box, and rebooting.)
