jackpinerepublic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Recently, my computer stopped playing windows media files that are on web pages. It just shows the oldest version of Windows Media Player and the file never plays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackpinerepublic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks for the suggestion Thermoid. I went the windows update page to download it again, and to my amazement there was Windows Media Player 10. I downloaded that and everything works now. Even Yahoo music videos! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moonwitch1405241479 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Heh, I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling To no avail, I can't play asf (streaming radio) with WMP (It gives me a random - general error LOL - but then again it's M$) So I now only use WinAmp and for a few things RealPlayer. I don't need more stuff on my pc LOL the poor baby is already overloaded... *comforts her pc* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
