Hello all I am using XP I have a problem with WMP. Sometimes when I click on a link to watch video WMP opens I mean the skin opens and in the bottom left says connecting to media but nothing happens. The lights on my dsl box quit blinking but I get no codes or anything it just does nothing. But if I close WMP and click on link again it may work. Sometimes I click on a link several times before it works and sometimes it works the first time. Here is what I have done so far. Windows Defender, CCleaner, Adaware, Spybot, Superantispyware, Asquared, Malware Bytes & AVG I have WMP 11 so I uninstalled it using add/remove programs and it went back to version 9 but still did the same thing so I put it back to version 11. I did not use the uninstall windows componets feature on the left side of the add/remove program box. I ran repair internet explorer (start>run>sfc /scannow) and that didnt fix it. I have done "checkdisc" & defrag. I have used system restore back to December 19th (thats as far as it goes) but that didnt help. I went into Player options and checked "connect to internet overides all other commands" still the same thing. I have done many other things the last few weeks and I cant remember them all. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Pilate
