  Hi Dallas: Windows Media Format 11 Runtime is not your WMP 11. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Codec-Packs-Video-Codecs/Windows-Media-Format-Runtime-11.shtml . I have both Windows Media Format 11 Runtime and Windows Media Player 11 listed in Add/Remove. Also I use Nero to create a regular audio CD that plays in all audio CD players and on your PC. You might be needing an application like Nero or Roxio. ColTom2...

In this configuration, I run a VB6 (Classic) application that only...
