    Media player 11 will not play streaming video

    I recently purchased a new Toshiba Satellite with Vista Home Premium
    pre-installed. The problem is that Media Player refuses to play streaming
    video. It simply pops open a new window with the message "page cannot be
    found". With Windows XP and other versions, Media Player 10 & 11 would open
    Media Player and play the file. Now, with Vista, it will not.

    Any ideas?

    Streaming video comes in lots of different formats. Give us an example URL
    where the video would play one the old notebook but not on the new one
    please and we'll look at it and try to find out what appears to be the
    problem.

    Rickster, I had a similar problem. This solved it for me:
    In control panel>internet options>connections>LAN settings
    or
    In internet explorer>tools>internet options>connections>LAN settings
    be sure Auto detect (proxy) settings is checked.
