I recently upgraded to windows media player 9 through the automatic updates and now I cannot play MP3's in kazaa. At first I thought it was something to do with kazaa but when I try to play my MP3s in windows media player 9 they will not work (however they will work in 6.4 and winamp) Strange huh?
This is the error I get when trying to play MP3s in windows media player 9 and I click on more help.

The requested audio codec is not installed (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/support/mperr.asp?prd=Windows&spb=MediaPlayer&pver=8.0.0.4477&os=WinNT&over=5.1.2600&olcid=0x809&clcid=0x809&id=C00D0BC2)
If anyone knows how to correct this I would appreciate it a lot.
Or alternatively if you know how to change the default player for kazaa (as I am told it is windows media player) then please help
thanks loz
