Problem streaming audio thru WMP and RealPlayer

[rb23]

I am having complicated problems with streaming audio from websites. Neither RealPlayer nor WMP (nor any selected player) will auto-run when links are activated. Any suggestions other than re-installation? (tried this).

make sure your file associations are correct. Go to explorer.. click on view.. options.. then file types. Make sure the extension of the file is located there and that it has realplayer associated with it.

RealPlayer opens but with an error message (A General Error has occurred.) When I click on the "More Info" button on the error box, it says: Incorrect Response Received from Error Server; Unable to connect to RealNetworks' online error help. Please check your Internet Connection.// My internet connection seems to be working fine for everything but streaming audio and also, recently have not been able to download Norton Anti-Virus updates (get error message). Seems to be related problem.

Two of the aforementioned problems (RealPlayer streaming audio and Norton Live Update) have mysteriously repaired themselves. I still have a lingering problem with WMP streaming audio, but it's just too complex to explain in this forum.
Thanks for the response, jguillory.
