What? WMA's played fine that came with Vista, it was just files I imported from my external drive.
It's got all the codecs, even the Divx codec pack that allows playing AAC files in windows Media Player.
Why did people not know about this problem before? I never realized that certain files become corrupted (WMA, AAC) when copied to an external Hard drive (maybe because it was not formatted as NTFS) and then copied from the External Hard-drive.
I searched Google, and did not find the problem. IF I knew it was "External Hard-drive corrupts WMA's" then I would have Googled that.
I love Vista at times. There are certain programs I don't like, like Norton products. (Except Ghost, which I love)
I am the type that restores the computer after a problem with a program, or Windows it's self, and doing such a restore messes up Norton "protection" products.
I use Avast, and Windows Defender. That's all I need ( plus Adaware and Spybot scans)
It wasn't a codec problem, it was file corruption problem. If there would have been an easy way (a program) to fix all corrupted files, I would not have gone through all this.
But, Vista is not at fault this time. I like it a lot, until it gives me a problem XP did not. [8D][8D][8D][8D]
