I want to open 2 different files in 2 different Windows Media Player
windows. When I try to open a second window/file, the first one closes.
How do I get 2 files to play at the same time? In this case, one file is a
..wma and the other is a .jpg. This ought to be simple, I would think, but
with Vista maybe not...

Thanks for any help.

I don't think even XP could do this, sorry.

Well, I guess I never even thought of that, and I'm amazed that that is the
case. I just downloaded a free little image viewer called Irfanview. With
it I can open as many image or sound files as I want at one time, which
generally is just 2. No longer any need to run Windows Media Player -
thanks for nothing MS!
