Windows Media Player

    Date: 05/13/05 (Microsoft Windows)    Keywords: web

    I'm hoping that someone can help with some issues I'm having with my Windows Media Player 9. A couple of days ago, my daughter (who downloads songs from AOL's search engine) informed me of an error message upon her starting Windows, something along the lines of "a file has corrupted the library. a new library will be formed." A day later, she finds she is unable to play the audio-visual song downloads on WMP9, getting the error message: "WMP is unable to access the file", linking her to the official error message (C00D11D2),

    Windows Media Player cannot access the file. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
    1. This file is currently in use. Close the file, and then try again.
    2. You do not have permission to access the server or other location where the file is stored. Verify that you have the appropriate access rights, and then try again.
    3. You do not have permission to access the proxy server. Verify that you have the appropriate access rights, and then try again.
    4. If you are trying to copy a track from a CD to your hard disk, you may not have permission to copy to the specified hard disk location. Verify that you have the appropriate access rights, and then try again. If the problem persists, try copying to another folder.

    To change the folder where tracks are copied to
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    Click the Copy Music tab.
    Click the Change button.
    Select another folder in which to store your digital media files, and then click OK.
    –or-
    Click Make New Folder, enter the name of the new folder, and then click OK.


    (Permission for the server, access rights, proxy servers? I'm lost)

    In the end, WMP9 gave my step-daughter the option to upgrade to WMP10, which she did, but the problem continued. When she informed me of the problem, I did utilize the Add/Remove option to rollover from WMP10 back to WMP9, but still the problem persists. I am able to download and play Audio/Visual WMP files, but her purely audio WMP song files keep giving us the "WMP is unable to access the file" error message.

    Does anyone have a clue about how to go about rectifying this?

    I've been trolling websites with little success. I have a vague understanding of how computers work but have to admit I'm rather clueless when it comes to the intricacies.

    Any help would be much appreciated.
