Operating System: Windows Vista - Ultimate PC Experience: Very Experienced | Hi Grey;
Make sure you have all your Windows updates and remove all media players. Except WMP of course. There might be a conflict.

Operating System: Windows XP - Professional PC Experience: Intermediate | OK, let me understand this. Whatever media player you use to play an audio file, you get an error message for the first time. However, when you try to open it the second time, the file plays fine. Is this summary right?

Operating System: Windows Vista - Home Premium PC Experience: Pc Guru | If you open task manager - when you click the first time see if it is in the task manager - I doubt it will be - and when you click the second time see if it is -
I used to have the opposite problem where it stayed open (had to close it through task manager) and had to do a reinstall of WMP

Operating System: Windows Vista - Ultimate PC Experience: Very Experienced | Hi grey;
May I ask how you managed to uninstall WMP11 in Vista?
WMP11 is the only version that will work in Vista and is integrated with Vista. I know of no way to uninstall it in Vista.
If you have somehow managed to uninstall WMP11 you may need to perform a repair or reinstall of Vista to repair WMP11.
I understand that other players don't work right too but this may be a root issue. Or do you mean you removed the files that played in the different players but did not actually remove the other players?
If so go to the Control Panel>Programs and Features and uninstall any other media players you may have. Reboot.
