| 78773 | 2002-09-12 05:00:00 | Hello. I have raised this topic before but am still having trouble. Have MP 7.1 but when trying to connect to radio stations it doesn't get past the "connecting to media" message. I downloaded Real Player and have got on to one Aust station at one time but the connection there too seems a bit random. Am now desperate to know that I can get Macca on Sunday with the Aust ABC. | poppy (552) | ||
| 78774 | 2002-09-12 05:17:00 | I always found it near impossible to reliably connect on dial-up. The connection needs to be quite high speed or it cannot buffer enough to start in my opinion. A really good dial-up will make the grade, but its hard these days to get one. I am on Jetstream (broadband) and it works fine, but still takes a while to buffer enough to connect.. |

Also make sure you are not downloading anything else at the time, turn off your e-mail client, etc |

| 78776 | 2002-09-12 09:15:00 | thanks to both of you. I will maintain my efforts. Have today downloaded Critical Updates for MP, don't know whether that will make any difference. | poppy (552) | ||
