I find that after upgrading to player 11, I can no longer play streaming video or radio. Any one have a clue what might be wrong? Oldrceme

Try re-registering the active-x controls for wmp and see if it then works. You can do this from a dos prompt (or the Run box) by typing "regsvr32 MSDXM.OCX" as an Administrator.

If not, try this link out

Do you want to try uninstalling WMP11 and reverting back to your previous version which worked?

What streaming file format is being used by the site you are surfing, are they the same sites that you have previously used WMP on?.

Try making sure that the settings are correct in MP.

Open Media Player > Press the Alt Key > Press the T Key > Press the O Key > This should open the options box > Click on the Network Tab > See if you options are the same as the box below.

If they are then try clicking on the "Use Ports" tick box and change the numbers in the box to 80.

If you settings are different let us know what is different.
