I was listening to music on my system earlier on, installed shoutcast and winamp, and even put out a bit of music to an audience of possibly 0. I was able to actually play music at this time. After I restarted my system, all my music players (Winamp, Realplayer and Quicktime) would open the music file or location. The problem is that none of them will actually play anything anymore. When "play" is clicked, the bar doesn't move and the down counting timer doesn't count, but it says it's "playing".
I've completely uninstalled Winamp (and shoutcast), Real Player and Quicktime and reinstalled them to no avail. I've scanned for virus's, zero found. Windows was also updated, still nothing.
Can this be corrected without reinstalling Windows? Most importantly, what can I do to fix my problem?
