    WMP 10 problem playing CDs

    When I try and play music cds in WMP 10 it gives me the following error, and will not play the tracks

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another computer, verify that you are connected to the network. If you typed a path, verify that it is correct. If the problem persists, the server might not be available."

    I was using WMP 11 and rolled back to WMP 10 but made no difference. I have no problems playing MP3's just audio CD's.

    I have searched google but no one seems to have any solutions for this problem...
    Any suggestions to rectify this problem??
    Thanks in advance

    The customer has specified that they want to use windows media player.
    And the WMP FAQ did not solve the problem....

    Are you trying to play the music from an CD? or from a designated folder? if it's from a folder then check to see if it's using the correct folder and if there are actually files inside that folder?

    or is it actually a codec problem? If so then download that k-lite codec pack from// http://www.codecpackguide.com/klmcodec.htm and see if that helps..

    Yeh a fresh install of WMP 10 did not solve the problem either. Either did upgrading to WMP 11
