When i go onto a website that supports WMP and click on a segment of film to
download Windows Media Player opens up and the word "connecting" appears at
the bottom of the WMP but appears NOT to connect. Then when i close WMP i
cannot re-open without the need to re-boot.

Saved movie files and clips ojn my hard drive open up and play from my hard
drive (as well as music), but all of a sudden this issue has arisen.

Could someone please advise me on what to do?

I am using Windows XP
