Cannot play wav on WMP - voicemails

[rhodes2010]

My DuVoice Voicemail system produces .wav audio files of voicemails.
We found that they will only play on Windows Media Player.

Worked for years with WinXP.

Now with Windows 7 (and possibly Vista) I can no longer play my .wav files.

I have suspicions that these .wav files have no DRM and WMP demands DRM.

I thought I solved it once by doing a regedit to turn off the DRM checking.
But I cannot find that solution again.

Any ideas how to get latest Media Player to play .wav files ?

My only other option is upgrading voicemail, and that is not likely.
Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue. Does anyone know of a solution?

David, I answered my own question. Here is the link:

http://www.free-codecs.com/Vista_Codec_Package_download.htm

I found this solution on another website.
I did download this and it did work for me on Windows 7 and playing a DuVoice
wav file.
What I cannot say for sure if there are any negative side-effects.
I am leary of downloading from unknown sites, but this did work, without re-
booting.

If I encounter any problems I will write again to warn.

Good Luck.
