O.P. Dodgy  [Fixed] Windows media player crashes when I try to play any audio file....
I can't seem to play any audio file in Wmp. I have the K-lite Codec pack installed but I've also tried the Vista Codec pack. I've searched Google and I've tried most of the solutions but none of them have fixed it..=/
I've also noticed Windows Media center doesn't play any audio files either.
I'm using Windows Vista SP1


Any Help would be appreciated.
thankies


Update:
Its all fixed now :)
To fix it I used System File Check (sfc /scannow)

I'm guessing other windows sounds play? It could be a codec, but it's unlikely... Have you tried updating WMP (or re-installing if you can)

Yuh, other windows sounds play and I can't re-install WMP because Vista doesn't allow it. :sad:

I've had the same thing happen off and on, it comes in spurts, Windows will update and fix it, then break it again later.
