strange problem with my Windows Media Player 10

[Spop]

I recently upgraded my Windows Media Player to version 10. It works fine online, but when I try to play a file offline it doesn't play. The player just comes up with a black screen. I now have to use other players to play my files. I don't like it. Please help!!

What files are you talking about?

 

[Spop]

Movies, MIDI, and Audio files

 

[Couriant]

make sure you have the up-to-date codecs.

 

[Spop]

yes I have up to date codecs

 

[Couriant]

so when you are saying offline, are you downloading the files then disconnect from the internet?

 

[Spop]

not exactlly. I save the files on my hard drive. Then I come back and listen to them later. I had no trouble at first, then something are someone messed up my player.

Can anybody help me?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

 

[Spop]

Yes many times because I had lots of problems with my os and I had to keep reinstalling windows xp, sp2, and windows media player 10.

 

[Spop]

So what could be the problem?

 

[Spop]

Ok. I gave up and downloaded a player named GR8 and it plays well, but I wish that I could still get my WM player back to working.

Have you tried a clean install of XP?

 

[Spop]

yes but no luck

A "CLEAN" install, meaning from scratch? There should be no reason MP shouldn't work with a clean install, since it's not version 10.
