Problem with setting status of gtalk to currently playing song in Windows Media Player ?

Its not that hard! So that you need me to invite to your home for a dinner to solve this ;)

While installing Gtalk , you install a plug-in for Windows Media Player(version 9+) in the background, which allows you to set the song details in Gtalk status message.


If you still couldn't solved your problem
here are the steps.

1. Go to Windows Media Player Plug-ins tab from Tools>Options...
or Tools>Plug-ins>Options...

2.There from the category list select "Background and" there you will find a plugin named "Google Talk music Plugin" if its not checked check it and you are done !
3. Do Apply>Ok and you are all set
4.Restart both Gtalk and Windows Media Player, play a song and login to Gtalk and there set your status to "Show current music track" and gtalk will give a confirmation as in the screenshot below:



if you find any problem then comment me, and dont hesitate to comment if i helped you :)
