I am on version 11.05721.5268 using windows 95. I was able to rip & burn CDs
until yesterday.

Now, each time I try, and I've tried several different CDs, I get an error
but no error code or description of error.

I've tried removing items from library thinking it is a size limitation, but
that doesn't work. I've also tried rebooting several times. I've created a
different library, and that doesn't work. I've tried a variable rate format,
that works, but then I can't play music as I get a codec error.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you've tried changing some complicated stuff.

Going back to the beginning - I'm *certain* you're not using 11.05721
on windows 95 - late night there ? ;-)

Can you actually *play* the CDs by pressing the Play button in media
player after inserting a CD ? Or the specific problem is restricted to
ripping ?

When you say there's an error but no error code - the best you can do
now, is to post a screenshot on a file upload website which we can
look at - press ALT + PrtScrn, then Paste into Paint.NET or similar,
and save as an image e.g. at http://www.rapidshare.com/

We should be able to make some guesses about what the no-error
actually is (or if there's any text there, write it down and post it
here)

It was a late night, I have windows XP. Anyway, I found out that that there
was file corruption. I removed and re-installed windows media player and now
can rip to my heart's content.

fyi, I could do anything but rip files.
