Vista problem with playing .wav files from C#

Experts,

    I have a simple .aspx page that takes a path to a .wav file, and
plays it. This page works fine on all OSs (Windows 2000, Windows 2003,
Windows XP), but not on Vista. Could the protected mode on vista be
interfering with this page? Any other ideas on why the code does not
work on Vista would be greatly appreciated. The (simple) code for this
page is

==========.aspx page========================================
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeBehind="WavFileTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="MiscTests.WavFileTest" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        Enter File Location: <asp:TextBox ID="WavFileName"
runat="server" />
        <asp:Button ID="Play" Text="Play" runat="server"
OnClick="Play_Clicked" />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

                player.Load();

Thank you in advance.

You doing it wrong.
You playing it on the server. Why do you want to do that. It works for you 
only because you are sitting in the same room where server is :)

Re: Vista problem with playing .wav files from C#

George,

    Thanks for the note. That is the intent, becuase the client and
the server are always on the same machine. Any ideas on why it doesn't
work on Vista?

Best,
Raj.

Re: Vista problem with playing .wav files from C#

My educated guess would be that IIS does not have access to talk to 
speakers. Most likely it needs some elevated permissions to use the 
hardware.
