    Media Player Problems!!

    When I attempt to watch a streaming video from a website, sometimes I get
    this message: "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying
    to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point
    to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted." or I get this message:
    "Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name might not
    be correct, the server might not be available, or your proxy settings might
    not be correct.". I have used the "troubleshooting" suggestions for windows
    and attempted to adjust the proxy server in all possible configurations and
    the other suggestions as well. I keep receiving these messages and an unable
    to view any videos whatsoever!
    setting changes : 1.I had to update the NVIDIA graphics driver to version
    175.16 (for 32 bit).
    2. I uninstalled Nortan security and installed McAfee antivirus.

    Is it only affecting that one burn list or all of your burn lists?

    Is this broken for all streaming videos now? Does streaming audio work
    still?
