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.

I do have the newest version of Windows Media Player downloaded, but it may have to do with the firewall on my computer, anyone have any ideas?

I have a simliar problem...I can no longer play any wma files...Unless I use a oldschool player (media player).
This problem is quite annoying because whenever a website tries to play a wma or other windows file my browser crashes

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.

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* |
