Well... I am a beginner ...Without knowing the error (post the return value from
CoCreateInstance()) I can only guess, but the first parameter looks like an IID, not a CLSID. You need to put the CLSID of the WMP object there. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- "Linux is good.

CLSID idMediaPlayer; HRESULT hr = ::CLSIDFromProgID (L"WMPlayer.OCX.1", &idMediaPlayer);Well I was using windows media player 8 but I found that I jammed up the class-id... then I installed Windows Media Player 9... The error code is: "REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG" ... I am not sure if I have to use "msdxm.ocx" for windows media player 9... Well... I am a beginner ... -
