Default Windows Media Player Wont Rip Music

I just got Billy Talent III in the mail today, and I attempted to rip it onto my computer through Windows Media Player and it showed this error "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct." Screen shot: http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...d/WMPError.jpg

Any ideas on how to fix this? I ripped music just a few weeks ago on WMP so I don't know why it wouldn't now.

Apparently I am not an administrator on my computer anymore? My rip music file was set as DTX\Music and I reselected it to try and refresh it, and it would not allow me to choose it and said I do not have permission to add to the file. I then looked into permissions for music and it said "Full control" for administrators, which I am, but only some control for DTX. I am DTX and I am an administrator, but some how WMP just realized that I don't get to be an admin and just DTX because I suck and deserve no respect? No, no WMP, you are wrong, and you fail at life. Anyway, I gave Full Control to DTX and bam. But I still want to know why this happened because I have never messed with my accounts rights or music folder rights.

I don't like it when permissions get mucked with without the "admin's" knowledge. You might give a quick run through the PCHF PreWork just to ensure that malware didn't make those setting changes.

The link to PreWork is found in my Signature line. Once your logs are posted, Gravity, we can relocate your thread to [NEW] HJT Logs for review by the PCHF Security staff.

No iTunes. Don't choose to use it.
