A friend of mine has recently been having problems with Internet radio.
It makes no difference which station she tries.
An example station is http://www.cklq.com/
Windows media player seems to crash after a variable time of playing
(anything from 5 to 40 minutes). The audio stops and does not restart.
Repeatedly pressing the play button makes it play for a fraction of a
second.
The computer is an Acer box with 1GB RAM and Vista SP1 with all updates.
I even put the optional driver updates on.
The problem does not occur on my own computer on the same ISP with same DSL
service in the same town but I'm using XP not vista.
It seems unlikely to be a bandwidth issue but I suppose I can't rule that
out yet.
The problem occurs with no other applications running and no unnecessary
windows open.
It's possible that this problem started after SP1 was installed but I can't
be certain about that.
Is there any known cause and fix for this problem in Windows Vista?
