    Hello,
    I'm having some off problems with my Windows Media Player(10 and 11) and Media Center(Windows Media Center Ed program).
    When ever I try to play an Audio CD in WMP I get the error "Windows Meda Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted."
    When trying to play in MC I get "The file you tried to play Wmpcd://0/6 is either missing, corrupt, or in a location that is not currently available."
    The CD will play on WinDVD but I've grown to love WMP and really want to use it as my multimedia program of choice.
    Can anyone give me a hand?
    *Edit: When I try and play the cd on WMP it says there is no data on the disk, but when I put it in and open it with WMP it tells me the right amount of tracks and gives me the error said above.

    Yep. I had 11 and tried a reinstall and that did nothing do I tried a rollback to 10 and still nothing. I wanted to try going back to 9 but I can't roll back that far because my computer came with 10. :/
