Pretty hard to track down then. Anyone else seeing this error message, under W2K or otherwise? It works for everyone here, and I can't guess what is different about Greg's computer. Realplayer shouldn't be a problem: I think Nel has that installed.
One thing you might try as a data point is open programs->accessories->entertainment->soundrecorder and see if you can record audio and save in either format with that. Does that work?
