2.219 Importing with no AUDIO

[S. Parks]

Thanks for the Suggestion Norm, but this did not correct the problem. This box is unchecked, but Windows media instist on starting to rip any CD as soon as it's inserted into the player. Any other thoughts?

Under the TOOLS, OPTIONS tab above, select FILE TYPE, and uncheck WINDOWS MEDIA VIDEO FILE. That one is one of those I've unchecked in mine.

If that's not it, you may still find the culprit here. I'd go on and uncheck everything except WINDOWS AUDIO FILE, and if that solves the problem, you can start adding back until you find the culprit.

If that doesn't do it, then it may not be WMP.

you may have to turn off auto insert if you can not turn off wmp go to
microsoft and type in under search

when you put in a cd only the program that you tell to run the cd will run the cd
but its up to you on which way to go
try george way first
no luck search for this on how to tun it off

Thansk you for the suggestions, but none of this worked! WMP is persistant in wanting to Rip any disc that is inserted, no mater what type of files I tell it to look for. This is a scarey thing! I'm just about ready to back up all the files that are good, and reformat the computer and start from scratch unless someone has something else to consider.

Do you have Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 installed? If so, there's a program in there called TAKE TWO that caused so many problems that Roxio has taken it out of their package.

Their upgrades do not include it. Don't know specifically what the problems were, but it may be another possibility if you have Roxio.

You might try deleting WMP. If WMP is not there, it can not automatically try to rip a CD. Create a restore point before you do it if you are using Windows XP. This should work. If it does, reinstall WMP. If if does not work, you can restore via the restore point you created and your computer will be as it was before you deleted. If you are not using Windows XP, reinstall WMP Version 10 which is available from Microsoft. I use a different program for my player, so I tell WMP not to be the default player for anything except WMA files including video. This way it does not try to autorun.

Hope this helps
