Windows Media Player Radio, and Video Playing.

[Matty1992]

Hi, i am having a problem with windows media player 11 playing online radio
and video. I open the browser with the player on and instead of seing the wmp
bar to press play and pause there is just a white space with a red cross in
the corner. I then did a troubleshoot on most of the players and all of them
said i dont have wmp when i clearly do. I checked that the plug in was enable
and it was. This is really annoying me now and i am on the verge of giving
in, this is my final effort. Please please help me i will really appreciate
it.


P.S i have tried everything i can.


Thanks

WMP: You can reinstall it from "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\setup_wm.exe"

I just tried that and the window acctually opens but it is stuck on please
wait before it displays anything.

Thanks for the idea.

You might be seeing the current spate of DirectX problems. I would use WMP,
tools menu, Options, Performance tab, to uncheck the directX and test the IE
display.

I managed to get it to work by runing as administrator but it says there
already is a more recent version installed. Which is weird please help

I cant see how to turn of Direct X. I go into WMP and then tool. options. the
only tab is burn.

Thanks, your are a real help.

Well, still no fix. And the stupid thing is i cant even uninstall it as it is
part of windows. Im out of ideas.

Nah, that won't work because there's no standalone package for that to
install. Interesting thinking though. =)

What did you put on the system before you got into this state?

I have a tentative fix for what's been done to your system, but knowing what
happened first is critical. Had you installed SatelliteTVforPC to this
system?
