audio on windows not playing

[C List]

Hi list

I am in quite a fix. I am trying to get an audio file to play on 
windows.
I am busy with this already for well about 10 hours to no avail. On my 
mac it's no
problem at all but on the windows box (windows 2000 profesional)
I can't get the file to play. I have both an aif and a wav file and 
neither will
play with runrev. The aif file won't play in the windows media player 
either but the
wav file will. (could this mean something is wrong with the media 
player (it's
mplayer2 vers  6.42)

  I have the dontUseQT set to true. I checked the filepath and all but 
alas
. . .  zilch. I realy need to get this fixed quick. I know my way on 
the mac
since 84 but I am new to windows. I just bought the windows box today,
my first. (well it's a pretty cheap second hand pentium |||, all I can 
afford)

Probably I am just missing something plain and easy (I hope) but it
sure got me stumped. Hope one of you guys have a good sugestion.

In the mean time I keep on struggling, who knows.

Best wishes to all
Claudi
