Outbound links (i.e. More and Buy) in Find Album Info are Blocked

I'm running Win 7 and WMP 12.

When I use Find Album Information, the outbound web links (More and Buy)
that can be found in the Find Album Information dialog boxes do not work. I
presume they are being blocked by the Windows Firewall or some Security
setting within WMP. When I click on one of the links, the dialog box just
dims briefly, but nothing happens and there is no error message.

I AM able to get things to work perfectly on an older Win XP machine, so I
know the problem is not with the fai.music.metaservices.microsoft.com server.

I've twiddled a bit with the Firewall settings and with the WMP Security
Zone settings, but to no avail.

Can someone help???

Thanks.

Do the links work if you temporarily disable the firewall?

Regards
