Re: problems playing web files - please assist

Hi Mark,

Its not your connection speed. I'm having the exact same problem.
Specifically, when I try to stream an MPEG on the net, the audio (eventually)
plays, but the video just hangs on the first frame. For me, this happened
right after I installed Roxio Easy Media Creator. (I uninstall it, and it
WMP goes back to working normally). So, if I had to guess, it appears that
we may have a codec conflict of somesort. There's plenty of programs that
help discover what codecs you've got, but none - that I know of - that help
you force certain applications to use certain codecs even though others are
available. Anyone know?

In other words mark, you're right.. its not your connection speed. If you
find an answer, let me know. Good luck.
