Thanks for your interest, Terhune. I'm SE & fully updated, even Flash is
updated. But I never went for SUN Java, & I don't have QT or Real
Player. I am Dial-Up at 52,000 bps.
Suddenly, the site works for me, even with avast!'s proxy & Kerio
Personal Firewall enabled. The tune that site plays is...
http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/pattycarter3/Sounds/LionelRitchie My
Love.mp3
I dropped that URL into an address bar (as Star tried). It caused a
full-screen WMP to open with the error still. However, the ditty was
loaded, &, when I clicked the play button-- it played all the way
through! I went back to the site-- & that seems to be working too now,
although the error did at first show up once/twice more. I guess I'm
more/less fully cured! Thanks again & to glee too.
I guess it's playing from TIFs now, &, if I wipe them, I'll have to go
through the rigmarole all over again.
