What is wrong with my Windows media player???

[Brutuskend]

In the last week or so, whenever I try and play a file I get the message

" Windows Media Player cannot [lay the file. If the file is located on the internet, connect to the internet. If the file is located a removable storage card, insert the storage card."

I tried "Upgrading" to windows media player 10, but this still happens.

Any suggestions?

1. Where's the file? Try, file "save as", and store it locally.

If I clink a online link for instance, I get this message. If I click on a file that's on my computer, I get the same massage...

It even happens if I click on a file loaded on my FTP server.

Unblock media player in your firewall.

I get that sometimes with specific links. To get pass it, I have to go to File->Open URL, and type in the URL manually. I think its a server-side problem.

1. What program is associated with those file types? Is that the default player? I'd be poking around here...

How's about loading up WMP Alternative or Media Player Classic?

1. Do that, and make it default player. You're on your own after that, 'cause I don't use it.

Nero

1. You pay for Nero, AND pay for a plug-in to rip?

"Screw WMP..."

And, who is getting screwed?

BTW, notice how many replies you get here, compared to Off Topic? :roll:
