Are we wasting our time here. How many of our questions are being answered?
Really None. The bottom line is that WMP will play only their own
proprientary formats. They will not play real media, quicktime, etc. In a lot
of cases they it will not play its own formats as in my case, it will not
play ASF or AVI video. The VLC Media player, which is a free open source
player, I have found will play all formats immediately. Make it your default
player and it plays everthing. Make WMP your default player and it will play
only a few microsoft compatible files and you'll have to load another player
to play others.

should be a required first read, I'd think. This is a peer support
community. No one is here to help you except you, so you'll tend to get out
what you put in. =\
