Re: cannot open file... |

**Well this really helped. I was using the first URL you listed (Beatles)and
the samples didn't work, and decided to try some other links. They worked!
So, now after digging around for a couple of hours I can go to bed safe in
the knowledge that sometime WMP will work. And sometimes it won't.
Thanks.

the path and filename are correct and try again."
I have re-downloaded the file and re-installed the app, and trashed
the preference file, but still nothing.
And why do media players insist on moving the volume control to "max"
when they open, instead of staying where you set them?! Quicktime does
the same thing.

I can't not open majority of the files. I have tried IE, firefox 1.5,
safari and none of them works. I've updated WMP so Series 9 as well.
Dont' know what else I can do. |

When you say the "majority" do you mean that you can read *some* of the
fiels ?? It would be quite different.
If it's the case, then I would suspect that the files you can't read
have either:
- no MIME type properly specified in the Internet prefs
- a mal-formed .asx
- use a codec that is not supported...
