Unable to play the song or burning CDs in windows media player 11 error message: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file.

Original title: the windows media player 11

I have the media player 11 and my operating system is XP Home Edition, but for some reason, when I try to play a song or burn it to a CD, this is the error message I get.  Can someone help me with this?

Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you try to read, burn or sync an item that is in your library, the element can point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted. reason for which each song I ever download from the internet is going to play is no longer...

Thank you.
