    Summary of Media Player problem:

    1. WMP works for another user account on my PC just fine.

    2. Does NOT work for primary user account. I get a codex error msg which I am attaching.

    You've encountered error message C00D10D1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.

    Cannot play the file
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or cannot play either the audio or video portion of the file) because of a technical problem with your computer.

    The problem might be solved by reinstalling the computer's sound card driver. See the following sections for information about how to do this for the version of Windows that you are running.


    3. I have done the following to try and fix the problem:

    1. re-installed Soundblaster drivers.

    2. performed an XP repair.

    3. tried different dloads for codec packages.

    4. XP System Restore.

    5. regsvr commands in RUN.



    The only thing I can think of would be that there is something in the registry unique to each user account (specific to using Media Player) that allows user 2 to work but prevents user 1 from playing the EXACT same audio files on my C: drive.


    Although this is not a show stopper it is a severe annoyance to me, especially since I am a former Programmer/Systems Analayst that cannot let loose of a problem until it is resolved. I have had some tough ones BUT this takes the cake.


    Any suggestions for other possible remedies?


    Thanks, Jeff AKA BO BO BOLINSKI

    ac3 filter didn't help. here is some more info from microsoft web:

    An audio codec is needed to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download from the Web, click Web Help.

    The codec you are missing is not available for download from this site. You might be able to find it on another site by searching the Web for "1" (this is the WaveFormat or FourCC identifier of the codec).

    Codec is missing
    Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or cannot play either the audio or video portion of the file) because the Microsoft PCM Format (1) codec is not installed on your computer.

    The missing codec might be available to download from the Internet. To search for the Microsoft PCM Format (1) codec, go to the WMPlugins.com Web site.

    Thanks
