Wow, I just brought up WMP 11 for the first time in a while, and I can't play anything with it! I tried a few MP3 files, it said it was playing, but I didn't hear a thing! I'll have to hit Google or Bing to see how to repair this. Even though I hardly ever use WMP, I would like to have a working copy on my system.
