Hi, I recently have not been able to play radio stations on my laptop, and don't have the slightest clue why. No matter what radio station I click on, i get this: "Do you want to save the file? Name: generate.asx Type: Windows Media Audio/Video playlist From: radio.msn.com The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download." If click on save, it will give me this message "Cannot copy file: cannot read from source file or disk." If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. -- Ian
Under WMP's Tools:Options:File Types, are the first two checkboxes grey or checked? -- (speaking for myself and doing this in my free time) See http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
