Windows Media Player 10 Not Recognizing Audio CDs

[radioron]

Hi,

 

I have a Dell 8400 Desktop computer (P4, 630 (3.0GHZ), HT, 2 MB, Em64T running Windows XP.

 

This problem just started 2 weeks ago.

 

When I put an audio cd in Drive D (the top drive), Windows Media Player (10.0.0.36460) comes on but it doesn't recognize the audio cd. Instead, I get the following error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another computer, verify that you are connected to the network." However, if I just click on the small top arrow next to "Now Playing" in WMP, it recognizes the D Drive and I can play all the tracks on the audio cd.

 

I have no problem playing DVDs in the D Drive.

 

I'd appreciate any help you can give me in solving this annoying problem.

Hi, my first suggestion is to update the WMP 10 to the latest version which is WMP 11 and see if that fixes the problem for you.
