Audio Codec/Vista Prem/WMP 11
For no apparent reason, most of my media files (WMA, WMV, etc) are not
playable anymore in WMP11 running on Vista Home Premium. I get the following
error message:

Codec is missing
Windows Media Player cannot play the file (or cannot play either the audio
or video portion of the file) because the Windows Media Audio 9 Standard
(161) codec is not installed on your computer.

The missing codec might be available to download from the Internet. To
search for the Windows Media Audio 9 Standard (161) codec, see WMPlugins.com.

Needless to say, I've clicked on it, 'installed' the codec and rebooted
about 100x to no avail. This is troubling as I've got tons of content that I
can no longer play, and I can't uninstall/reinstall WMP11 because it's
hard-wired into Vista. HELP!

Re: Audio Codec/Vista Prem/WMP 11

Under WMP's Help:about:Technical Support Information, what data does it give
you there?

What preceded this? Did you install any third party codec collections?

Re: Audio Codec/Vista Prem/WMP 11
Here's what I get there .. the only thing that preceded it was a mandatory
update to Vista that was pushed through Windows Update. I had never touched
anything for WMP because I didn't think I needed to.. it just all of a sudden
stopped working, specifically with DRM-encoded files.
