my Treo no longer recognizes WMA

So I have been trying out a bunch of different media players. Now today, my Treo no longer recognizes WMA files. None of my WMA ringers work.

I've uninstalled all the new players I tried. Still doesn't recognize the WMA files.

I'm guessing the file associations got screwed up, but I don't know where to change them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try a soft reset. If that doesn't work, you may have to hard reset. Back up your treo first.

Before a hard reset, go to the different media players that you downloaded and installed. Go to their file association settings and uncheck everything so that the players don't recognize any files. Do a soft reset. Check to see if WMA is working. If yes...then go back to your different media players and add one association at a time.


late,
Coz

Go to your registry and take a look at this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\Shell\Open\Command\(Defa ult)

The value should be wmplayer.exe "%1"

Thanks everybody.

I had some free time at work this morning, so I played around a little bit before anyone really responded.

I pretty much did what Coz suggested. To no avail.

Hard reset did the trick. With the EXACT same setup, I went from 6.5 MB free memory to about 49 MB free memory. I have no idea what I had lurking in the shadows, but apparently a hard reset did me good.
