Mp3- MediaPlayer 9 Issue!

[mahitto]

I cant play Mp3. files in mediaplayer, it works in Winamp...
Theres no sound in any video either...

Error: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play."

I hope someone else have had it and fixed it...
Please help.... Ask if u need any information..

you need the correct codecs to play certain file formats. Let me look into what you might need.... been a while for me.

First make sure you have the latest WMP9 installed.
If you have, download it again and install over current one.

Or check this:

If you receive a message that contains error codes 0xC00D0BB8 or 0xC00D1199 when trying to play an MP3 file, the problem might be because the file has a header that the Player cannot read. The file either has a compressed or unsynchronized ID3 header or contains ID3v2 data, which the Player does not support for security reasons. For unsynchronized ID3 headers, see article 814129, "Error in Windows Media Player 9 Series When You Play Specific MP3 Files," in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=19910).
For compressed headers or other ID3v2 data, you can use a tag editing program to remove the information. For example, you can use the Advanced WMA Workshop, available from the LitexMedia Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=19913). Or, you can use Winamp 2.x, available from the Winamp Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=19911). First, open the file in Winamp. Next, in the Playlist window, right-click the file, click File Info, and clear the ID3v1 tag and ID3v2 tag check boxes, and then click Update. You should then be able to play the file in Windows Media Player.

Are Mp3 and "no sound in movies" the same issue?
Or two different problems?
Because the Winamp solution didnt work...
I cant play any MP3 at all...
I have reinstalled WMP 9 several times with no luck, I think WMP 9 installation dont replace old files and it doesnt include the codecs I think. Can I use WMP 7 in XP home? Or is it a bad idea?

Well... The error is "uknown" and I fixed it by deleteing my old accaont in XP and created a new one... I dont now if thats a good solution.. but it works...( well now i can play music) Thx MGF-team for beeing helpfull... Your web-site is really nice!

Glad you got the problem sorted.
I had no clue it was due to your account.
