Schmidt1989 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) My friend just got this brand new dell, and hes not really into gaming or computers, but hes really into his music. the first day he got it, i was over there setting it up for him. of course that wasnt hard, all he had was a mouse and keyboard and monitor at the time. which was actually only about 2 weeks ago. anyhow, as soon as he got logged on, he opened wmp. its all funky and it doesnt work at all, hes at his playlist, which only has some dell sample songs and stuff on it, but it just wouldnt functiion right, it failed and closed. he had no spyware or anything on his computer of course. does anyone know what may be the problem? he has windows xp home sp. 2 and wmp 10 Edited August 24, 2005 by Schmidt1989 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StealthG Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well if your absolutely sure its just a problem with windows media player, and the computer is brand new.......then i would take the computer back and request for a new one or have it fixed. Mostly likely this wont be the case. Check out the speakers and make sure they are installed properly with the latest drivers. If not then re-installing windows media player wont hurt.

Schmidt1989 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 ok when the problem happened he had not yet had speakers so i know thats not it. im thinking he should just install wmp again. i just wanted to make sure there wasnt something definitly wrong with his system first.

Go to My Computer/Tools/Folder Options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parrotgeek7 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 it very important to get a latest driver for sound card<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm pretty sure Dell shipped its system with the correct driver. Did your friend import his songs into his library? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
