My speakers are working, and I have no idea where to look to see what
has changed in WMP, because I haven't used it in several months.

I have no intention of upgrading to WinX, and after weeks of MS changing
descriptions of updates from Optional, to Recommended, to Important,
and/or dropping any useful descriptions ... I got tired of spending my
days chasing info on them and stopped them altogether.

I know the security risks, etc., but I'm wondering if I had already
installed some updates affecting WMP? Anyone have any suggestions on
what I should check and or anything I can do to restore WMP on my Win7 pc?

If MS has succeeded in disabling my WMP use, they are just moving me
closer to the date I switch to Linux or Apple.

I absolutely refuse to use Windows Media Player. I have RealPlayer,
VideoLAN (VLC), and Winamp installed. VLC generally handles all kinds
of media, both streaming and files (e.g., DVDs, CDs). For some uses,
however, I prefer RealPlayer or Winamp.

Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are
so high because they have to recover the costs of developing
those drugs. Two questions:

1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while
prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower?

2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those
development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics?
