If it is installed in X64 what may keep it from playing anything? I am told
to update drivers, etc. I have updated it all. When I have tried to
redownload the player it says it is not compatable with x64

Reason WMP10 download will not work
The Download version of WMP10 is for XP home and pro 32bit editions (which
is not based on windows server 2003 SP1 like X64 is).

WMP10 (which is in the X64 setup files) is encluded on XP Pro X64 (which is
based on windows server 2003 SP1 and not XP),

As to why its not playing anything any spefics or more information would
allow other to help you

The 1st question is: Why did you install Media Player 10? This program
is not for Win XP x64 - if you would read the information on the
Microsoft web site, there is absolutely nothing about being for any
64-bit system:

System Requirements

* Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP; Windows XP Professional
Edition ; Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2

Win XP Pro x64 is not listed in the "System Requirements"!

So, why did you install it in Win x64????????????

Thankyou, In all of my reading, and reading, and reading I did not learn that
bit of info. It, of course does not solve my problem but that info helps me
in my understanding of it (I am trying to learn rather than just ask) As was
suggested by our local "Pro" in XP PRO x64 suggested (with no other thoughts)
in a previous response (2 days ago) to this I should just
reinstall........Thankyou, I am most greatful for all who respond.l

Hi Rick and thankyou for your question, it stimulates some communication and
maybe some of the beginners here, like myself will gain a greater
understanding of how this STUFF works from the inside out.......maybe.
If one has spent as many hours and as many days reading here there and
everywhere trying to fix the problems that I have (or that I have created
myself)with Brother Charlie's x64 Baby, they would understand that, as Bro
charlie R has stated here-to-for, well, somewhere here before and as others
have mentioned "it comes installed with the program". But you are correct as
far as I have read myself that you cannot download the player for and into
x64. Yes I have tried to reinstall the player seperate to solve my problem
and it tells me it (the 32 bit or x86 is, if I am correct (calling it x86) is
not compatable with x64) [END of download and "go play with your x64 friends
and leave the out of date OS to ourselves, we are happy to live and die as we
are".]
So, we are both right.....mostly........................(where is Charlie
when you need him?)

why not start from the beginning?

"If it is installed in X64 what may keep it from playing anything? " Does
your system make any sounds? Can it play a .WAV file (Settings => Control
Panel => Sounds)? Before getting into WMP the basics have to work.

I think Joromo is having some unknown codec issues.

Since MP 10 is a 32-bit program and Microsoft does not list x64 as an
applicable program, Joromo's problem is that MP 10 is not x64 compatible.

No, MP10 is compatible, it's just that it's part of the OS, and thus can't
be installed. It's already there!

His problem is almost certainly audio drivers, but since he claims that
can't be it, we can't help him. He needs to test at the most basic level --
does he get windows startup sound, for example? And then work through the
issues.
