Vista - Streaming Video Move Media Player

I have an HP Pavillion entertainment Pc with vista business, amd turion 64x2
processor and nvidia graphics card. I cannot watch streaming videos using
move media player. Any ideas?

Hi,

Can't play at all? Or do they open and stutter or start/stop? The latter
would be a problem with your throughput, either the connection is not fast
enough or some other program on your system is occupying the bandwidth.

What Rick said. Also,

was my old diagnostics list which helps identify where a problem might be.
With the more data that Rick asked about, it should be possible to isolate
out your failure point pretty quickly. =)

Hi All
This is my problem also, exactly. Until recently I had no problem streaming with WMP but all of a sudden no streaming, only download and then play. I've also gone through all the default program setting and there's no change. Also I tried a different browser-nothing. Other laptops and desktops in the premise work as they should.

My problem also. I am running at 11Mbps on the WIFI, have a very powerfull machine NVIDEA 9600 etc., but streaming only runs for 3 secs then starts buffering again. Is this a cache issue?
If so, how can I increase Cache size to largest?
My old Laptop running XP has no problems whatsoever with the same files.

many thanks

In my case it seems to be a security/codec issue with vista because I can paste the url into the wmp "open url" window and it plays fine. I simply can't click to play now.

Thanks for your time Bub, but as a newbie. How do I grab from the URL and specifically 'Open WMP URL?'

Pretty easy: Right click on the video link and select copy. Open WMP and click file then "Open Url" and paste the link copied into the box. This is the only way I can stream a program anymore, who knows why.
