Re: WMP11 for AVI & streaming radiod with Vista Ultimate

I've had a Laptop with "Ultimate" installed dumped on me by a friend who -
like me - doesn't understand HOW to get the complex "Media Centre" to accept
files containing {say} AVI's & play them.....

Or even to connect to Streaming Audio from :
mms://streaming.quicknet.com.au/4BHhttp://stream.arn.com.au/4KQ

or even :
http://stream.arn.com.au/4KQ


These are two stations that *I* can **EASILY** connect to in XP-Pro's
version of Windows Media Player - **WHY** can't I find any way for my friend
to listen to these radio stations in Vista Ultimate - or even play video
files which are NOT on VCD or DVD's ??


I'd be very grateful to learn how the friend can play video from Hard Disk
*&* "tune in" to Streaming Audio from Radio Station.
