I get the following error when trying to clink links on a site I go to:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is
not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a
different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:")."
The site worked perfectly for 2 months that I've had Vista, but suddenly I
get this error. I'd love to reinstall Windows Media Player, or repair it but
I can't find anyway to do it. Since it worked previously, and since I
haven't typed anything into a browser window as it suggest on the error,
there must be something askew with Win. Media. I have also done this:
"If Windows Media Player supports the protocol and you still cannot play the
content, verify that the Player is configured to use all of its supported
protocols.
To configure protocol settings
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab.
In the Streaming protocols area, select all the protocol check boxes.
Note The supported protocols can be used only to stream digital media files.
Windows Media Player cannot be used as a browser."
All the protocols are selected, and I have not adjusted any settings in
windows media, it literally just started doing this, when I lost power and
the system shut down due to lack of power. Admittenly this is probably the
cause, it's probably corrupted a file, but HOW DO YOU REINSTALL the program?
Thanks!
