I have XP SP3 installed and your song runs the full length. This is an XP
problem. You need XP SP3 assistance, specifically. And you can get it for
free from Microsoft at the following contacts:
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...3&gprid=522131
My understanding is that they work their butts off and really are
interested. I can't say, since I've only run into one issue with SP3 and
there is apparently no remedy. Actually, it's more like intentional.
The most appropriate newsgroup in which to post your query is:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsxp.general
Don't expect a quick answer from the NG, or any at all except more or less
what I gave you above. But *maybe* somebody happens to have noted this
specific issue, also, and you can compare notes.
As for your missing post (it's not on Google, yet), if you posted it
directly to the MS News Server then you should know that nobody is really in
charge over there and that there are the strangest filters that have been
put in place, ad hoc, all over their news servers, such that the most
innocuous words trip a delete. Only remedy is to essentially re-write the
thing like an English assignment in creative plagiarism.
If you posted it to some other news server, then I have no advice to offer.

Hi everyone,
Maybe a MVP can answer or anyone can chime in w/knowledge. I'm experience
strange behavior of WMP on a website I've been going to for years. I am
giving a page location on this sight.
Exact web url:
http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/pattycarter3/MyLove.html
The files are streaming audia-- MPEG Audio Layer-3
The pages have the WMP control on them.
I know this isn't a problem w/my player, I suspect it's security related.
I
have added SP-3 to my W-XP OS recently since visiting the page. This
occurs only on this website which is quite large. Actually I have NEVER
seen
anything quite like this before, the player works absolutely first rate
playing audio & video on other websites.
* open website, music starts & plays 80% of song-- STOPS, dialog box
opens--
Error-- Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error
occurred.
* If I paste the sound location into IE address bar-- WMPlayer opens for
me
and again plays 80% of the 4:04 min. sound file.
** I receive same dialog box--. Windows Media Player cannot play the file
because a network error occurred.
I Click on more info button--
0xC00D11C0: Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network problem
occurred.
1. Your computer is not connected to the local area network (LAN) or
Internet. Connect to the network or Internet, and then try again.
2. The path to the file is not valid. If you typed a Uniform Resource
Locator (URL) address in the Open URL dialog box, ensure that the file
name
is spelled correctly and the path to the file is correct, and then try
again. If you clicked a link on a Web page, the link may not be valid.
3. The server is down or busy. Try connecting to the server again later.
Some network protocols in the Player are not enabled. Enable all network
protocols, and then try again.
4. The proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly.
Verify that your proxy settings are correct, and then try again.
I'm positive Microsoft IS missing MY REASON/OCCURENCE ??
Thank you.
