Windows Media Player 9

[penzy]

I will try the DivX. I am using Windows ME, and usually have no problems. I would switch to XP, but my games won't work with it. I pretty much just play EA Sports games. I tried before, and I couldn't get my GamePad to work right either.

DivX did nothing for me. I can't use system restore to uninstall. Does anyone know another way to uninstall? I tried installing 7.1 over the top, but got all kind of errors. My problem is that the player is not connecting to the media. I have it set to play mpegs, but it just won't connect. Sometimes it says that I need to be connected to the internet to view the file, when I am clearly connected with cable internet. Is there some setting I'm missing? It doesn't work when I shutdown Zone Alarm either. Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I'm just not that hot about viewing fresh from the web. I download the asx file of the plane landing and it played just fine on my WMP 7.01

Oh yeah, can't you burn a cd using wmp 9?

I think I also heard that that cd can only be played on the computer it was burned on......hhhmmmmm...open to corrections if I'm wrong.

Enjoy WMP 9---expecially with the DRM issues...

I still enjoy the freedoms of yesteryear and still contend that some things should not change.

If I save target as, then play it, it plays fine. My problem is that WMP 9 will not connect to the internet. Does anyone know a fix?

Check your Network settings on your player.

That's what I have. I can't use system restore to get rid of it, because like a dumbass, I had system restore turned off before I installed the stupid thing. Any other ideas?

Note to jsave123:

You can burn a CD with Media Player 9 and play that CD in other CD players. You can download Copy Protected music to your Media Player and play it on your computer as often as you like, but cannot burn it to CD.
