I have XP Pro and when I uninstalled Roxio Creator 9 via Add/Remove, it also apparently removed most
of the Sonic Cineplayer Decoder. Then, everytime I tried to play a song on a
CD, I was asked to replace the missing Sonic file. I did find Sonic
Cineplayer Decoder in Add/Remove Programs so I removed it. Now WM11 will not
play CD's at all, saying that Media Player cannot support the file.

Is this fixable or do I have to uninstall/reinstall WM11?  Is there a
different codec that I am supposed to point WM11 to? I don't think that the
Roxio disk will allow me to separately reinstall the Sonic app.

Thanks

You may want to try installing the ac3 filters and see if that resolves the issue.

If not my suggestion is to reinstall WMP 11 so it installs its own codecs that it needs.

Old news I know but I had a similar problem after uninstalling Creator 9.  After some google searches ... found that free-codecs has a tool to find and remove broken codecs.

Downloaded it.  Virus checked it ... its safe and voila it worked like a charm.  

Found all the broken codecs after the uninstall even some I didn't know.

Didn't even have to reboot.

Just posting it here in case anyone else has the same error.
