I cannot get Media Player to play videos on certain
websites: MSNBC, My MSN, and CBS. I suspect it has
something to do with popup blockers. Media Player works
with other media. This seemed to start when I installed
toolbars with popup blockers. I configured them to allow
popups, I uninstalled them, and I have reinstalled Media
Player. Nothing seems to work. Finally, if this is not
the right newsgroup for this problem, I would appreciate
being pointed in the right direction.
Thanks, Tom
 
I'm having the same problem. Have you figured out how to fix it yet

This probably won't help, but it might. I clicked a link
on MSN and it automatically loaded a Verizon Wireless ad--
that played without a hitch. Now everything seems fine.

You might be able to get it to run if you do the same
thing--it might require a few attempts, as I think the ad
loads randomly.

I was using MSN Explorer. I clicked the My Movies icon. I
then clicked the other cities link--as it had loaded
information for the wrong location. That caused the
Verizon video to load as a popup. I right clicked on it
to confirm it was a Media Player video, and played it
again. Things are now working just find.

Good luck.
