Hi...not sure if malware is the cause of that problem (even though there are some dubious entries in the log).

If you have a close look at the screenshot, you will see that the music files have a .exe extension. Perhaps if you change that, they will be ok??

As for the possible malware infection....may be linked to downloading files with torrent clients???

ok i kinda need to know on how to do that do i just rename them to .wmp???

**nickster_uk** · 02-08-2007, 04:54 AM

Just remove the .exe from each of them to see if that helps. Don't change their original extensions but you can see them displayed from the screenshot anyway (mp3).

i did that but windows media player says stuff ( see pictures)
I selected yes on the one that ask me if i want to try and play it anyway and i click close on the second one

Ok...can you post a fresh screenshot of the music files in their folder please?

Also, in Explorer:

- Click Tools -> Folder Options -> View
- Ensure that 'Hide extensions for known file types' is UNCHECKED please

joshthemaster06 · 02-08-2007, 10:23 PM

the highlighted ones are the only one i tried

**nickster_uk** · 02-08-2007, 10:30 PM

So did you change the mp3 extension to wmp?

**nickster_uk** · 02-08-2007, 10:32 PM

Also, I have just noticed that a number of those song titles contain strong language...as this is a family forum, is there any chance you can edit them to blur out those words please? Or perhaps, move those files to another folder and redo the screenshot and re-upload it then delete the offending ones??

Cheers :)
