Guest James Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 If I'm posting to an inappropriate newsgroup - please direct me to the proper one. When I insert an audio CD, I'm initially greeted with the following window: "Desktop" Access to the specified device, path or file is denied. If I persist, I can play the CD, by accessing in Windows Explorer and 'opening with': Media Player. Particulars: Win2000, Windows Media Player version 9.00.00.3075. This is only a recent event. Media Player used to function normally with same CD(s). Thanks - james

Guest James Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Re: Media Player Issue Dave, thanks for the very fast reply. It does appear the 'article' you recommended is appropriate. Since, the solution didn't jump out and grab me - and since, 'I don't think fast - but I think long' - I'll attempt to digest and explore what the article is attempting to tell me.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Media Player Issue James, What does the OPEN verb say in the file types?

Guest James Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Media Player Issue Thanks Newbie Coder for your reply. I'd just about given up trying to resolve this niggling issue. Working around it was not a BIG problem - only pesky and noisy. After your reply, I went 'in search of file types.' I didn't come across anything remotely resembling your sample. But, I did try 'selecting all' file types. And, now it works - no pesky/noisy little window. The file extensions on the CDs are 'cda'{??}. Funny part. This just recently occurred - to my knowledge, I hadn't altered anything. So, thanks - james.
