Windows Media problem

By phil ·
When ever I go to a website that is using a windows media file, it never works. For example: My teacher went to adcritic.com and showed us some commercials. so when i got home i was going to show my family. but instead, it just sits there with the windows logo on the screen. I have gone through my internet security settings and enabled everything thinking i have a security issue but that didn't help.
Please help

Windows Media problem

by McKayTech In reply to Windows Media problem

A little more information would be helpful, particularly what OS (Win95, Win98, NT) and what browser (IE, Netscape) you're using.
Also, what version of the Windows Media Player (if any) you have loaded.

If any of your components are too far behind, you can bring them up to date at the MS Windows Update site.

It doesn't sound like a security issue to me but more like there is a plug-in missing from your browser.

Hope this helps start you down the right path to solve the problem...paul
