That makes sense, but they play on my other vista pc and I ripped a disc to wma files using my new vista pc, and wmp11 won't play the wma files it created. Yup, the wma files play fine on it and every other player I have tried except for vistas wmp11. I tried out a few other music players...

Is there anything else I can try before I reinstall vista?

I gave away a Pentium 4 with 512mb ram, running xp. Soon enough it was full of viruses and whatnot, So I installed zonealarm, No more viruses but now the slow pc runs even slower. I don't know much about Linux and there are so many distros, I need some help making a choice. My friend mostly...

Why would I need to install a codec pack to play wma files on vista. Isn't wma, window's codec? I installed the k-lite standard pack and the wma files still won't play :( But, I didn't see anything about wma while I ran through the install.

I still can't find a solution for my problem. So.... I probably need to reinstall vista, huh? :(

Nope, But I did install nero 9 and lightscribe software. I just ripped a new cd using WMP11 and it won't play the WMA files it created :\ Man, this is lame, I have 70gbs of music and I don't want to convert it all to mp3.

Thanks for the tip. I took ownership of files in Vista, But it didn't solve my problem, I still can't play WMA files in WMP11. Do you have any other suggestions?

I originally ripped all my music using WMP in XP (WMA files play fine) I installed vista on a new HDD and transferred my music collection onto the vista drive using drag and drop. (WMA files play fine on vistas WMP11) Then, I built a new rig using vista as the OS and transferred my music...

Thanks for the info, But I'm not really upgrading, I'm replacing a dieing card in the pc that I'm giving to my brother. I ended up ordering the Saphire 4380 (x16 2.0 ;)) for $110 plus -$15 combo deal with the e7300 cpu for my new build. Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100265L Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit...

OK cool! I knew you could put a x16 card in a x16 2.0 mobo, but I didn't know the x16 2.0 cards are compatible... Thanks!

I'm going to be giving my PC to my bro, But my x1900xt is dieing so I wanted to buy a new card for him, Unfortunately it has to be pcie x16(not 2.0) I was thinking about the 9800 GT 512MB, How dose it compare to the x1900xt 512MB? Newegg.com - MSI N9800GT 512OC GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit...

That's a nice one, But I was looking for something a little cheaper and I will never use crossfire, as a matter of fact, I would never use half the stuff on either of those mobos. I was considering a micro atx mobo because they seem to have everything I need, plus allot of them have onboard...

I will be ordering tonight or tomorrow morning, BUT the mobo I like is out of stock, So can someone suggest a different one for about the same price? Besides the mobo, how dose everything else look? $80- GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel...

I was quoting 2 different people. If you say so... I'm not arguing against them. What do you think we disagree on?

What? I'm not trash talking, and I have allot respect for those guys! I'm just trying to get the facts straight, Watts don't mean anything? not true! I agree that the total watts of the psu doesn't mean much, But all the hardware power usage reviews are in watts and all you have to do is divide...
