have win98se w/ CDplayer
I put in a Music CD and it pops up a window thats says ..Cannot find program wmplayer.exe
A search has no help.
I close te error window and click on Cd player icon and cd does play fine..
I tried to right click CD player icon and change the setting to auto activate the cd on inserting a autio disc. What was in there was c:\windows\cdplayer.exe..I tried to change it to
c:\windows\cdplayer.exe\play and I get a not a valid route error..
any idea how to get this to play cds when i insert a cd and get rid of the wmplayer.exe error or to find the right program? or the wmplayer.exe program?

The fact that it's looking for media player means that it was once installed and possibly deleted. Since media player isn't there at all you can install it by running add remove programs from the Control Panel. Select the Windows Setup tab then go down to multi-media section and open it then select media player.

After that get the latest version from the Microsoft update site.

While you're at it might as well get the lastest version of direct X, security and other update patches as needed.
