>>>I just downloaded the release version of WMP 5.2 and now it doesn't play any sounds at all. The beta worked OK, a little sluggish, but I had sound. I've tried all the tips in the help file, but no success. Any other things I can try, or is this a known problem? (nothing in KB about it, yet, anyways)

>MP6 was WAS the one I downloaded and did not work. I finally got it to work by downloading/installing DirectX. After that, it all worked again. Must have been some kind of DLL problem, I really don't know. Whatever, it now works again. Thanks for the reply, Ed!
Absolutely - MP6 relies on DirectX 6.0, so if you didn't have that before you started, it wouldn't work. It should have told you that the DirectX 6.0 API wasn't available when you went to install it; time to report a 'feature' to M$...
