I just 'upgraded' from WMP9 to WMP10. All was well with WMP9. I was able to
play videos from Yahoo and connect to streaming news broadcasts from out of
town TV stations. With WMP10 all I get is the window showing that the program
is 'loading', then a quick flash in the window, then a 'stopped' message. The
video then tries to reload, and says 'The End' at times with the duration of
the orgram...such as 2:10 for the last one I tried. No video, no sound.

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition on a 2.5GHz Celeron, with 768Mb of
memory. My ISP is Verizon DSL which connects fine and I bring it onto this
machine via a Netgear 108Mbps wireless card. Everything worked with Version
9, now nada with 10? Ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for your co-misery, Marcel. If I could figure out how to go back to
WMP 9, I would...let's keep trying.

Go to the Add/Remove Control Panel, check the Show Updates checkbox, scroll
down to Windows Media Player 11.

Is it just online video that's failing? What about online audio, like the
CD samples at amazon.com?

Thanks for your response, Zach. I'm somewhat of a novice (no kidding) and I
think I've really screwed myself up now. I tried the Amazon on-line CD
service..tried to play a sample track. It gave me the "save" option
only...not "Run". So, I saved it to the desktop...tried to pplay it and WMP10
did not recognize the file type and wouldn't play it. Next, I went to
Add/Remove...checked the "Show Updates" box, found WMP10 and rolled it back.
It looks like it rolled back all the way to version 6. something..and I'm
sure I had 9 on the system. Anyway, I then tried to reinstall WMP10...it
downloaded fine, but after the 'extract' phase I got the nig red X and the
message that says..."This version of Windows Media Technologies is
incompatible with this version of Windows." Yikes!...and I can't figure out
how to get past this fatal.

I'm running a validated version of Windows XP Home, SP2, have downloaded the
SP1 for IE6, et al on a 2.4GHz Dell with 768Mb memory. Can't get much more
legit XP than that. HELP!!!...please...Thanks!
