258795 2004-08-06 05:36:00 Help please, am running Win XP, with Media Player 9. Media Player will not connect to the internet, get the message "page cannot be displayed", although it used to work very well. I can no longer stream radio or video.
Any suggestions please folks!

1. Open Windows Media Player

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.
