I am running on ME.My problem is this.Any .wav file I play through W.media player sounds naff.If I play the same files through a dedicated editor ie.soundforge,wavelab,cool edit etc they sound fine.As there is no uninstall for W media player I downloaded the latest version hoping this would overwrite any corrupt files----but the problem still remains.Has anybody any ideas on solving this problem?
Thanx in advance

The problem you are having is in an incompatibility with your sound card and windows media player. It happens alot with gateways especially. The files will play fine in anything BUT media player. Media player is really dependant on the sound card doing all the work, and there is not "speed"limiter on it, so it plays the file as fast as it can read it. I recommend winamp for playing mp3's and wav files. you can get winamp free from
