Use media player 11. It will definitely resolve your little problem. Furthermore, you might not have enabled side speakers on. There are front speakers, rear and side. That'll do fine.

Go to your Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel. Check if the right things are selected, on every tab. Same with your media player.

To make the long story short, first uninstall your Windows Media Player, from  add/remove windows components, in your control panel. Once you have donde so go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx and download it and install it again. This should take care of the problem, and avoid you further waste of time,\n\nGood Luck!

The first thing to do, always, with any error like this, is reboot.  If that doesn't help let us know.  If it doesn't, try clearing out the temporary internet files, try getting windows media player upgrades if you don't have the latest version.  As a last resort, go to control panel, add/remove and take it out and then load it again.\n\nAs said earlier, this is a MS program, download it only from microsoft dot com, not some third party.

It sounds like you are playing a file the protected, and you need purchase a license before you can play it.  Try to a play another media file from your computer and see if it works.

I'm assuming that when you say Windows Media, you mean the video/music files.\n\nOpen Windows Media Player and click Tools/Options/File Types and tick everything in the list.\n\nApply/OK.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nJust in case you meant the Windows Media Player icon, then that sounds a bit dodgy and you may have some spyware/virus installed (make sure you have a check), but you can restore it back to the Windows Media Player icon...\n\nRight-click the icon and click on 'Properties' and at the bottom, click on the 'Change Icon' button and a window will pop up.  You will need to Browse to:\n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Windows Media Player&#92;wmplayer.exe\n\nand select the icon.

Scroll down to media player now select windows media player and then click ok, it should work just fine now
