Have you installed anything recently that has anything to do with video playback? Or anything at all?

I will send you a file with some instructions, give me a while to dig it out though.

Hmmm I havew installed a few things recently, nothing to do with Video Play back? Or so I think????

Yes that file you have maybe just the job!! Thanks!

So what have you installed?

I have installed Spy Sweeper! Thats it, everything else was b4 it went awol!

Basic thoughts here - open your Media Player, click on the Tools tab, Options, Player and make sure you have a tick in the box which says "update codecs automatically". If these are not up to date then some things will not play.

Thanks for the tip. Tried that but no joy. I think the fault is with the streaming part of WMP......

Have you tried using another player like RealPlayer or Quicktime? See if you can access it in those.

Yes, tried that but some files only play in WMP...thats why I am trying to get it fixed... sad

Don't leave your MSN running next time, midge. Catch me on there over the weekend and I'll see if I can sort you out.

Steve,

Sorry I missed you yesterday! Thanks for your help!!! Will try and catch you today I hope!! Keep a look out for me razz

Name's Mike.

And if you want help from someone, normally you make yourself available to it. I'm not going to chase you up on IM any more.

Mike,

I really appreciate your help, but I cant just wait on MSN messenger all day long for you to come on. I have been coming on as much as possible to try and catch you but your never on LOL.

Please keep giving me a shout as I cant see when you are online or not as you wont add to my MSN and you are the only one who knows how I can fix it sad

Would you mind still helping us Mike? We can't listen to Charles Stanley, K-Love etc anymore on the internet till we get it fixed sad

They'd make me break my Windows Media Player as well....... :wink:
