wmp problem

I am trying to install Windows Media Player series 9 on a Win 98 machine.

The program install fine but I am not able to play anything with it as it

seems to be missing codecs for my onboard sound which is Realtek AC'97 Audio

in Device Manager.

I have downloaded codecs from Microsofts Website but I am getting errors

when trying to install them. I have tried looking up the errors to no avail

and am hoping someone may recognize this and know how to fix it.

The first error =

the setup_wm.exe is linked to missing export

kernel32.dll:getsystemwindowsdirectoryW.

The second error

Error creating process <C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\IXP000.TMP\setup_wm.exe /Quiet/R:N>.

Reason: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

I am able to use Winamp and Realplayer with the same onboard sound so this

is really puzzling to me. Any info or help in this would be greatly

appreciated.
 
I'm not sure about the error messages you are getting, but I would try to see if you have the latest drivers for your sound card.
