Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 So I can't play mp3s, or CDs. WinAmp, iTunes, and Windows Media Player all fail to open whenever I try, and it usually leads to the system crashing. Am I virused-up? Any tips for how to get this working again? I've been trying to figure out what's wrong all afternoon but information is scarce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 Are you getting any particular error/crash messages when these programs come up, or are they just hanging without ever coming up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 Are you trying to play burned CDs (CD-Rs) or actual music CDs? One thing to check out. Go into My Computer - if it takes a long time to show all of the drives, then there could be an issue with your CD drive recognizing the CD (it's stalling out on the autoplay).
