Arie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 What version of Media Player do you have installed? Upgrade it to the latest version or reinstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yes! This was a bug ive seen many years ago. A good way to repro this is to install a very old version of Hexworks. The problem is that "play all" feature uses Com. If you install a program that does something to com, you'll get that problem. In my case when i installed an incompatible version of hexworks it broke that feature. As soon as i uninstalled the bad hexworks it immediately started working again.So the question becomes: what have you installed lately? Is your 3rd party software compatible?I emailed the windows media team about this issue many years ago and at the time they didn't seem too interested in fixing the issue (media player shouldn't let 3rd party program hijack it's com objects)-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfer Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Thanks for the replies, I'm havent really installed anything that could have affected it really. I reinstalled windows and put all the programs on at once and it was working then but not a few days after the install. Its strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
