Board index » Windows Vista » WMP 11 keeps showing "Windows Media Player is not configured for the Internet"

Windows Vista35
Hello All,



I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 RC and recently I have been getting a

problem with Windows Media Player where it constantly says "Windows Media

Player is not configured for the Internet" and it suggests that I run the

"Internet Connection Wizard" to reconnect. There is a similar issue in

Windows XP that can be resolved by running the wizard however the ICW has

been removed in Vista. This is particularly annoying because now my computer

can no longer connect to streaming media though I would prefer not to have

to reformat just to regain the ability to connect to streaming media again.

I have also disabled firewalls and directly connected the computer to the

modem to rule out my network. Lastly I tried enabling "Connect to the

Internet (overrides other commands)" under WMP's options in the player tab.



Any thoughts would be appreciated.





Cheers,

Donald Robb

HI. I INSTALL MY PC WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE 32BIT AND I HAVE THE SAME

PROBLEM.

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11 IS NOT ABILITY TO WORK IN THE WINDOWS VISTA BECAUSE

THE VISTA HAVE WINDOWS MIDIA CENTER. THIS SOFT IS BETTER THAN WMP 11. IT`S

NOT PROBLEM THE FIREWALL

OR ANOTHER SOFT. IT`S NECESSARY NEED CONFIGURATION IN THE PANEL CONTROLL.

OPEN PANEL CONTROLL. OPEN

PADRON PROGRAMME. IN THE PADRON PROGRAMME HAVE MANY PROGRAMMES. YOU CHOOSE

WMP 11 AND ABILITY LIKE

PADRON PROGRAMME. NOW WMP 11 WORK.

Under WMP's Tools:Options:Network settings, are protocols listed under the

Streaming Proxy settings page?



Is Internet Explorer still functioning correctly?
