i've ripped a couple of cd's onto my pc, when i try to play them all if does is randomise the tracks and the words "changing media" flash up in the bottom left corner.

it all works fine if i select one track at a time and play them individually.

this happens on both xp and vista. both are installed on seperate hhd's, but i can access files from xp when i'm running vista and vice versa.

Are shuffle and repeat both turned off?

Both on can cause problems like this.

Sounds like WMP is trying to switch between a CD track and an MP3. You could try rebuilding the WMP library on both systems. A quick Google should tell you the location of the library database file. Delete it and rebuild the library database, make sure that you don’t have any CDs in your drives.
