Hi Klaus, Thanks for your help already. I'm making progress, but I'm not quite where I wanted to be yet.
As noted in my previous post, I'm trying to play MP3s on a minimal installation of Windows XP Embedded. I don't have direct control over the XPe build (and wouldn't know what I was doing if I did) - I try something, make a fresh request, get a new solid state disk for the unit, try again. Quite longwinded, and there's a tight timetable on this project. As noted before, I removed QuickTime from a normal PC running XP, and played MP3 files, using a 'quicktime player', without problems (and without a controller, which is fine). I wasn't previously able to install either Media Player or QuickTime on the XPe unit. I've now got a new disk for the XPe unit, with MediaPlayer. I can play an MP3 file directly by double-clicking, it opens MediaPlayer, plays it fine no problems. However, from Rev I still get 'could not open video player' when I set the filename of the player to the MP3 file. I am also now able to install QuickTime (version 4!) on the XPe unit; and can then play the MP3 from Rev fine, complete with controller. But when I uninstall QuickTime, I'm back to square one. I then tried getting Media Player 9 for XP from the MS website, and installing that. Installation apparently proceeded without a problem, and Media Player can play the content without problems - but the symptoms when playing from Rev are the same. Evidently all installations of Media Player are not equal. Can you (or anyone) clue me in to what I need (and preferably how to express this to the people building the disk image)? If we have to, we might be able to get away with QuickTIme - but it will cause other difficulties, so if we can avoid it just to play MP3 files that would be an advantage.
