Try better players like:

GOM Player
XnView
VLC Media Player

They're all free, all work with Vista, all way better than Media
Player.

Some online websites require that I use Move. Is there a way to change that
so I can use another media player? For example; tried to watch "Lost" on
abc.com and it just will not do anything at all. Unistalled and reinstalled
Move and still no luck. I have 2 different Virus protections running on the
computer and have disabled them both to try it that way, and nothing still.

Hi,

Can't play at all? Or do they open and stutter or start/stop? The latter
would be a problem with your throughput, either the connection is not fast
enough or some other program on your system is occupying the bandwidth.

What Rick said. Also,
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#isolate
was my old diagnostics list which helps identify where a problem might be.
With the more data that Rick asked about, it should be possible to isolate
out your failure point pretty quickly. =)

Hi Al
This is my problem also, exactly. Until recently I had no proble
streaming with WMP but all of a sudden no streaming, only download an
then play. I've also gone through all the default program setting an
there's no change. Also I tried a different browser-nothing. Othe
laptops and desktops in the premise work as they should

Are you saying you can't click on a link and have it directly open the
player without downloading first, or that when you view the player embedded
into a web page that it is broken?

My problem also. I am running at 11Mbps on the WIFI, have a ver
powerfull machine NVIDEA 9600 etc., but streaming only runs for 3 sec
then starts buffering again. Is this a cache issue
If so, how can I increase Cache size to largest
My old Laptop running XP has no problems whatsoever with the sam
files

many thank

In my case it seems to be a security/codec issue with vista because I
can paste the url into the wmp "open url" window and it plays fine. I
simply can't click to play now.

Media Player like other things in Vista suffer performance wise
because of the idiotic changes Microsoft made to "improve" overall
security. Naturally they failed in that effort just like they failed
in how UAC is implemented. The best solution is use any of several
free media players that are superior to Media Player and have no such
issues.

I use all of the following for various purposes:

1. GOM Player
2. VLC Media Player
3. XnView

All the above are free, all work fine under Vista.
