Windows Vista Help Media player 11

[Noelito]

I was running IE7 with Media player and all was fine...

I (stupidly!!!) decided to install IE8 Beta. My media player worked
fine, but I couldn´t open a banking page, so I had to remove IE8 and
revert to IE7, which is where my problems started with Media player 11.
I now cannot run live streaming of programs from 'RTÉ Ireland's National
Television and Radio Broadcaster' (http://www.rte.ie/live). They load in
the buffer but then the screen stays black and just says ready. (I know
that all network connections are ok). I tried to uninstall WMP 11, but
apparently it is an integral part of Vista so no can do. I also tried
reinstalling WMP 11 but it keeps saying that a newer version is
installed, any ideas??

I also have Real Player but this doesn't run as smoothly (as WMP did!!)


And I hope the solution is not to reinstall Vista, that sounds like the
days of NT4, when MS had just one answer to every questoisn they got on
any program, you have to reinstall NT!!!!

Thanks

Noel

Hello Noel,

You might like to try a system restore to a point before you installed
IE8

Hope this helps

Does the standalone Media Player still function? I'm curious if this is a
general player breakdown or only of streaming media functionality.

Are you on a 64bit or 32bit system? Does this system have Vista Service
Pack 1 applied?
