so today i decided to put xp on my pc, after using win2000 for some time.

im having troubles with some of my mp3's though. i try to play them and they just wont play. they open up ok in winamp and WMP, with WMP reporting that i dont have the correct codecs for this file.

thing is, some mp3s on the same drive do work. the drive is ntfs and xp did have to scan after i hard powered down my pc and turned it back ok, saying stuff like recovering orphaned file...

can anyone help me? or have a lost a big chunk of good music? =(

edit - just found out its happened to some avi files i have too

it was a full install of XP, not an upgrade. i sent a file to my mate, he couldnt play it.

i didnt make myself too clear, the files open in winamp and WMP, but BOTH wont play it and only WMP shows an error message.
