SurferJoe: WMP has NOTHING to do with YouTube or the likes, they all use Flash to play their files :)


I'd like to agree with you here on the YouTube/WMP10 association...but whenever I open a link in YouTube, I get it on WMP...

ALL my YouTube vids open in WMP, not just an occasional one...I can send screenshots..maybe if that'll work..but they all open WMP10!

I then have the option to ADD them to SAVED vids in WMP10...and when I do, I have them for my own...I can watch my modem and router, and there's NO ACTIVITY when I play them from WMP after I have saved them there.....

I don't know how this happened, and it's just on the XP-Pro/SP-2, SOYO Athlon with all the other media stuff I have been collecting.

Do you suppose I have some sort of VM for playing them (YouTube) in WMP? I really don't know...

.....and get this: none of the other LAN'd puters can do it either!

I have been working (as you might know) on getting this puter to act as some sort of server for my MP3's and Vids...this MIGHT be a glorious accident!

I have a utility called Sherlock to test your codecs...it's here (www.updatexp.com), it's free and leaves no cookies, spies or baddies....

I like to save the output to WordPad for printing, as it will sometimes try to print in landscape format and it won't be visible...but other than that..it's a god one to save somewhere in your toolkit...
