I was unable to Google an answer. Virus free, spyware free, recently defragged. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Martino: Tried your link with WMP 9.0b and it worked OK. Maybe time to update your WMP to 9.0????

 

Hey John B.!

I haven't read good things about WPM 9.0. Read where some folks went back to 7.01 after installing it.

Have you found it to be OK?

 

Maybe this ?

 

I was going to suggest basically the same as Zander with a few more troubleshooting tips here . Scroll down. Your error is just below the page break. BTW if you have 98 FE MP9 isn't compatible. Is with 98SE. Good player too!

 

I havn't had any problems with WMP 9.0 on 98SE, but I also don't use it much as I am on dial-up and media files take forever to d/l even at a 53.3 connection.
