Shows wav files are corrupt but works in media pla

[Guest MC]

I just downloaded your freeware Wavepad and tried to open some WAV files I downloaded off the internet recently. They work fine with Win Media player, but when I try to open them with your software, I get an error message that the files are corrupt and then it closes out. I am new to sounds and sound editing, and am trying to edit the sounds I downloaded for use on a digital home phone system. Any recommendations?

try downloading the GSpot codec tool here:

load your files in this program and tell me what codec it says the files are using.
