Select "Options" 4. At the bottom of the menu make sure that "Connect to the Internet (overrides other commands)" is checked.

| 258798 | 2004-08-06 10:44:00 | Hello Tony: Is this coincidence? I've used the WMP for years.. It is V7. But just in recent days it wont play steaming audio. A station I usually play opens with "connecting to media", then it displays "buffering"..that goes on for ever. WMA & WMV files I have on the HDD work ok. So whats happenning. Does anyone have any clues? |

| 258799 | 2004-08-06 11:26:00 | Hi folks, thanks for the prompt responses, but unfortunately no joy yet. To Davesdad, no, no updates installed recently. Can't access the net to that either. Johnboy, yes, that box is checked, and checked out your link too. Good try and thanks friend, but been there done that. To Bazza, yea, sure something is strange aye, very p******g off too. Same here, all hdd vids and music still work fine. Thanks for all the help from you great folks in this forum. Tony S. |
