Actually, some streams I can view with WMP9, but my
favorite site for music video's won't play
(yahoo/launch). I've been thru every help topic in that
site and the microsoft help site for WMP. I'm figuring
that my ports are somehow impropperly configured, but
can't find any information on how to configure ports.
Anyone out there had a similar problem with the yahoo
videos? Any help would be appreciated.
 
Sounds like we have a similar problem... I can view some streams, but I also
have problems with yahoo/launch along with my video on MSN.... My pc came
preloaded with WindowsXP, so I don't have a disc to put in for maybe a
repair... I have a service contract, so I just may bring it in and see what
they say..

WMP9 will happily play WMV files. However if you want to watch Real Video
files, you must have Real Player installed on your PC (www.real.com) and if
you want to watch MOV files you must have QuickTime installed on your PC
(www.quicktime.com). Don't just assume poor old WMP9 can do everything!
