I am having a problem, If I try to play a record in windows media player it won’t play it in the correct order. It just randomly plays it in a weird order, like starting with song #6, then # 8, then # 2 ect. Has anyone else had this happen to them, and how do you fix it? I have windows 7.

You haven’t accidentally clicked the shuffle option? In full screen mode it’s the leftmost button down at the bottom where the play button is.
