Help with Windows Media Player 10... can not listern to radio or online links :(

[Archman]

Hello,

I was looking for some help with the windows media player 10 program. I am unable to get the radio stations that I was able to get in series 9, and when I hit the radio button nothing comes up.

Links on websites that uses media player do not work either... when I hit the play button nothing happens

What could be causing this block? A firewall, a firewall like program, or something else?

thanks,

Since it's still on my clipboard: http://www.microsoft.com/windo...ia/serve/firewall.aspx That's for WMP9 but the same concepts are probably valid for WMP10. If you're at work, then get your IT person to OK the whole streaming media thing or you may be tracked down by your IP address and given a talkin'-too.

balzer, thanks and I will look at it

mechBgon, I am at home, and didn't have any issues with WMP9... I have a router with a built in firewall, and have installed some anti spyware/malware programs, but I do not think that they are affecting WMP10... I can not recall the radio tab ever working after upgrading to WMP10, nor the links on my favourite radio stations' websites.

I am wondering if a re-install might do the trick... who knows?!

thanks for the help

just a thought but did you have anti virus running at install

Problem solved! I did a re-install of WMP10, and everything works perfectly now
