TSGL: I am starting to rip

[edLynn]

Hi-

I decided to replenish MY Music by ripping my collection, and I ran into a 
problem immediately.

I'm using XPPro, SP2, and windows Media Player 11,

I dutifully configured the 'player's to RIP to MP3, and put the MP3 in both 
the Library and the new My Music folder, with the correct address.

Results: Nothing showed up in either place, and Search for "*.MP3" came up 
with NO Results Found. I did the whole thing over with the same answers.

Using Control Panel, I reverted to WMP10, but the same no results anywhere.

I reinstalled #11 directly from the Microsoft #1 site, and tried again. NG!

I did a virus scan with my up-to-date Panda, and spyware scans with AdAware, 
Spybot, and MS Defender running. I was clean except for the  usual few 
tracking cookies which I eliminated.

Am I the victim of a music plot, or what? I never used to have a WMP 
problem, and with the fresh one in place, I am beginning to believe in the 
spirit world. Help before it's too la-a-ate.
