Hello Rob and list: If memory serves me, in WMP 11, "F7" mutes and unmutes;
F8 and F9 raises and lowers volume; right off the top of my head, don't
remember which one raises volume and which one lowers it! It seems like it
used to be that you had better navigation of files in earlier versions of
WMP; this seems to have been taken away now!

WMP may be muted, I think f8 mutes and unmutes but it might be f7 or f9.
I have another version. Keep tabbing till you hear the mute and volume
controls. They are independent of the Windows mixer.
Also check tools, options, devices tab, speakers, properties,; to set
output if you have more than one sound card.
I agree, it's strange that rewind is disabled in WMP and we have to use a
seek bar that has no direct hot keys or even a quick way to bring the
slider to focus.

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.

Hello list: My experience with WMP is that I can't move backwards (used
to
be able to move forward in a file or track)..but don't believe that even
works anymore..unless I use that "slide" thing you were talking about.

I'm running Winamp 5.572, and I do see AVI as a supported file type.
It's listed in the Winamp preferences in the file types list. When I
click on an AVI file in Windows Explorer, Winamp is the media player
that comes up and plays it. Did you install the lite or standard
version of Winamp? I don't know if that makes a difference or not. Did
you make sure that all of the file type support was installed when you
installed Winamp?
I'm also pretty sure that WMP supports fast forwarding and rewinding
through the menus, hot keys or using the slide bar on the interface. I
don't typically use WMP though, so I can't be sure. Does fast
forwarding and rewinding in WMP work for you on other file types? My
biggest gripe with WMP is that I can't figure out how to control the
amount you jump in a file. I think it's based on a percent of the
overall length of the file.

Well the simple fact is that AVI does not ppear as a supported file
type in
5.72 whereas it does in 5.32. In fact, there are only 61 file types
with which to associate as opposed to 67 on the earlier one. So it
would appear that I'm hosed.
I wouldn't even mind except that I can't control Windows Media player,
I.E.
it won't fast forward or rewind.

Winamp opens as it should, the AVI file just doesn't play. But it

I don't think so.
Back to my original post, have you checkd the file associations?
and ensured that the video setting are correct?
I'm guessing here, but it might be worth a shot.

Dave,
go to winamp prefferences.
start at the top of the tree with the home key.
arrow down to file types.
tab through the options and select the "all button"
Now go back to the tree view, and arrow down to video.
Tab through these options and make selections as appropriate.
See if that helps.
