[SOLVED] Windows Media Player Problem

I am having a problem with my Windows Media Player. I try to watch CNN Live Videos and it is very, very choppy. The audio is okay. Pre-recorded videos are okay also. It's just the live ones that are the problem. This is how I watch court trials, something I'm very interested in. Other computers in our house show the live videos fine. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks and it's driving me crazy. Any ideas anyone? Thanks a lot.

Actually, as I think about this, it may not even be Windows Media Player. I don't remember what makes me think it is. It is CNN's Live stream, whatever they use for their live videos. Thanks.

Re: Windows Media Player Problem

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I've already done that with no luck. Why would it be just the live streaming? I have no problem with regular videos. It's killing me not to be able to watch my live trials. Thanks.

Re: Windows Media Player Problem

Hello again,

I am not sure why it would just be that

Do you have these problems in any other browsers? Please try one of the below (both are free):

Firefox

Opera
http://www.opera.com/

Thumbs Up Re: Windows Media Player Problem

Hi. Thanks for your response. I had already tried Mozilla and that didn't work, so I downloaded Opera, which I had never heard of. Surprise!!!! It works!!! Thanks a million for your help. Still can't figure out why it doesn't work in IE. I can watch my trials again!!! You're the best!
