My computer had 'multiple windows errors' so I installed a new version of Windows. I have not changed any hardware. If I now try and play anything, music or film, through Windows Media Player, this message appears:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly."

The previous system was able to play music/films through WMP with no problems. Please help me if you are able to. Is it just a software issue that I can rectify through installation?

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide.

Did you reinstall your sound drivers after reinstalling Windows?
