I keep on this error when i wanna stream files from sites. i have followed wot microsoft sed by still no luck. please post with any fixes

do you get this error when you try to stream any file, or certain files?

Go to Tools > Options > Network

and make sure all four checkboxes are checked.

yup all options are checked. is that the only solution to it cos i really want this sorted

is it just one file you can't stream,or any file?

its only wen i stream from some sites
other times it will work fine. also i no the site is working properly cos i managed to watch other videos from that site on another computer

whats the address that the page loads?

include the XXX:// bit at the begginning

javascript:launchGSL("/live/streamer_new2.html?title=Metal+Gear+Solid+4+Teaser+Movie&path=mgs4_demo_ps3_051705.asx&pid=926596&ppath=ps3%2Fadventure%2Fmetalgearsolid4&ksubmoid=&urdate=1167552000", "", 718, 500)

thats wot im trying to view

What webpage is that link on?

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/metalgearso..._all_preview_image

When you set your preferences for the video quality does it go to the next window?

Are you redirected here: link

300k cos thats my net speed, but i tried all the others still comes up with the error

Opens for me and starts playing, but no image for some reason.

hmm. well wen i clik play the vid will play for like a micro second then stop. then if i go to error details then it comes up with the error

Could potentially be a codec problem.
Try e-mailing the guys at the website, see what they think.

ok. but its not just from this site its from a few others. streaming works sumtimes on some sites but 70% of the tym it wont. and i there is nothing rong with the site cos as i mentioned before i viewed videos from that site a few days ago on another computer

Since nobody else on earth seems to know what to do with this error (me and Microsoft included).  I thought I'd throw in my two pennies.  I have this exact same error and cannot play any windows media from a browser on this laptop.  It's vista 64bit with WMP 11.  The problem seems to be in WMP, when you go to Options - networking.  The plugins list is blank.  On my desktop machine it's RTSP and HTTP (browser) in there.  Then you can configure it.  But on my laptop that's blank.  Neither machine uses a proxy and the proxy settings are the same in IE.  I'm completely befuddled on this one cuzz there's just so many things it COULD be.  It's almost an association type error you'd expect to see.. but it tries to play the link but doesnt.   I've uploaded an image of what I think is causing this issue.  I'll try to let you know how this is fixed, IF I CAN FIX IT.
