I downloaded this player and it seems to be useless. There is no sound either with CDs or DVDs. Yet DVDs play perfectly well with with InterVideo DVD player as do videos. System uses Windows XP with Service pack 2. supposedly Microsoft's greatest invention since SLICED BREAD but it seems to me this is yet another typical Microsoft cockup full of bugs. Does anyone know of any cures? Failing that any recommendations for other players? (I'm less worried about DVD sinces InterVideo is perfectly adequate but I need to be able to play CDs because of preparing lessons for students doing preparation work for AUDIO LANGUAGE exams). Many thanks. :Won't InterVideo play music CD's ? ?

If not DLoad and install VLC...a free and good MEDIA player.
All Formats.Aaaaah .... Thanks, I'd never thought of trying but, yes, InterVideo DVD player does play normal CDs as well as DVDs.

But still I've read about lots of people who have problems with Windows Media Player higher than version 7. So what gives? I stick to my point that basically Microsoft have put out an inadquately designed product which is full of bugs and doesn't work OR there are yet more bugs in Windows XP which doesn't let it work.

Have any other people found this problem and what solutions did they find What sound card are you using .... and is your sound card set up in windows media player as the caperble hardware to run sound through ....
