Third time around from a fresh install. Using WIN 98 (not SE) and media player 7.1. Both above mentioned seller sites refuse to play music samples. If I run Firefox, it wants to make a download of an EXE file which then does nothing. If I run IE (6.0 + all updates) Media player will start if I cancel the download action, and then give error message file format not supported. I am having the same problem on every computer on my home network, so I must be missing something simple? Help!! Thanks! jef
