T O P I C     R E V I E W Ruffage Ok, here's my situation: Today I tried updating to IE6, for no real reason I guess, ver.5 was working fine. Anywho, all seemed to go well, until I went to listen to the mixes in the competition section on this site, and they wouldn't play! I got messages like 'can't find specified file' and 'can't find server' and so on. So I uninstalled IE6, but it had no effect. Then I tried uninstalling Media Player 7.1, which I'd installed the day before IE6, and still got the same messages. Then I uninstalled Media Player altogether, and reinstalled 7.1, but still nothing. Now I'm getting a new message: The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request. I've checked the network settings in WMP, and they're all fine. The last thing I can think of trying is reinstalling IE from scratch, but I don't really want to have to do that. So, any suggestions? I'm also running Win98, and using a cable modem, if that helps at all. Thanks, Ruffage virus i bet it's cuz robin can't stop ravin! adam NightSoul i'm having the same prob!!! • dance till the police come silver You need to install Media play 6 or higher, if you have uninstalled IE6.x you will need to reinstall IE5.x because if you uninstall it your IE turns into IE2.x Also install directX 8 if you are using Win98 (it might help) ---------------------------------- you, me and hardcore forever. Ruffage But I am running IE 5.5X, and WMP 7.1, and I have DirectX 8 installed. It was working fine with this setup before I updated to IE 6 - this is when the problems started. My network settings in MPlayer are as such: Multicast, UDP, TCP, HTTP [all checked] MMS [None] HTTP [Browser] *Ruffage shakes fist at Media Player* Help!! Ruffage Now, after making zero (0) changes, it works again! *shrug* Tyrant it's cuz Robin has too much nurse porn on his computer yup thats right... ROBIN LIKES NURSE PORN! hoo boy. i got too much time on my hands. History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it -- Sir Winston Churchill
