Windows media player 11 on Vista

Hi all,

As my player 11 incorporated with Vista Ultimate cannot playback online
streaming video/audio lately, can anyone advise how it can be uninstalled
and reinstall again ?

Many thanks!
Derek

According to MS you can't entirely remove MP11, which I would of though
so
'Installing the Player
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...tallation.mspx

Anywyas, is it only certain types of media that won't stream, or is i
all
And have you recently installed another type of media player, or code
package? such as CCCP

Hi Beaua,

Many thanks for your quick reply.

The MP11 used to work when I download .asx file from the media site. After I
installed some programs, it has not worked playing the streaming video/audio
file. I tried to open the .asx file with Realplayer and Winamp yet they both
failed. Even the embeded CNBC Plus live video does not work when it used to.

I am frustrated with MP11 so my guess is to reinstall it. Can you shed some
light on how to resolve this ?

Derek

It seems like MP11 isn't the problem but the programs you possibl
installed. Do you remember which ones they were

On a related note, which specific error do you get when you try to stream
files these days?

http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#reinstallvista
is relevant, but I'd start with:
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#networktab
if I were you.

What's a specific URL where you get this error?
When you click "Web Help" on that error dialog, what URL does it take you
to?

OK, that's the same protocol unsupported source error. So what's the
afflicted URL?

Did you try
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#networktab
as I suggested earlier?

Dear Zacht,

I am sorry that I did not try your method outllined in your link as it is
complicated to me. When I opened the streaming source from the URL:
http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/radio3/t.../20071225.html

with MP11 : an error message protocol unsupported error message was
displayed
with Real player : it works fine

That is why I believe there is some problem with my MP11.

Best regards,
Derek
