I have two computers on a small LAN, a desktop and a laptop. Both run XP and WMP 10. The laptop refuses to play .mpeg files stored on either network drives or locally, but plays the same files just fine directly off the original website.
I checked file corruption by playing the exact same files on the desktop, which ran perfectly. I downloaded and reinstalled WMP 10 on the laptop without any change in performance. I tried disabling all my Norton products, but that didn't make any difference.
I'm assuming there is either a setup error in WMP 10 on the laptop, or a conflict with another program, but I've run out of ideas where to look.
Any thoughts from the community on additional diagnostics or potential remedies? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
