I added a second IDE hard drive and now seem to be a little lost. Since I upgraded to Windows 7 I can see it is there but can't seem to open anything. When I try and open any of the music files it says:

]Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct.

...and I can't find any more info on this. Please help!

Hi Faded1, I've had a dig on Google, apparently this one has worked for quite a few people...

I HAVE THE ANSWER. after searching a while I found a fix that acutally worked
You go to : Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound and then something should pop up saying certain enhancements are interfering with something Terminate the program? Click yes and your problem should be solved


I know it's not precise instructions, but see how you get on with it. :)
