I've been unable to listen to or watch any audio/video files through Windows Media Player 10. I always get the error "C00D1199: Cannot play the file." I've tried all types of files, including MPEG, AVI, WMV, MP3, and even WAV.

So I downloaded WMP10 from Microsoft and performed a reinstall. At the end of the reinstall, I saw the following error:

"The procedure entry point GetShortPath could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

Other than this, everything seemed to work fine. After restarting, I was still unsuccessful in playing any files.

Next, I rolled back to WMP version 9. I restarted, and again, I couldn't listen to or watch any media.

I ran across the same Kernel32.dll error after installing Nero last week. I uninstalled Nero, thinking that the problem was with the software. But now, I think the problem is with the OS.

I ran the recovery console and replaced the kernel32.dll file on my system with the clean version from my XP SP2 CD. This did not cure the problem either.

I am not sure what else to try.. I haven't been able to find anymore info on this by performing searches, etc. Please help!
