Windows Media Player 9 and 10 Problems playing movies on Internet

When I use Windows Media Player 10 to play a song file on my PC, no problem. When I use it to play a movie off the net, it stops responding altogether and I have to reboot to get it to work on my song files. I read somewhere about reverting to Version 9 and I did that, but still have the same problem. Someone recommended "Light Alloy" but I can't get that to play movies on the net either.
Any advice on getting WMF to play movies off the net would be greatly appreciated? Thanks!

Well what's your network connection and where is the video your trying to play?

Thank you for your reply. I use Time Warner's Roadrunner, which is Broadband. The location I don't have because it's just wherever I get to where I have the option of viewing a sample of a movie.

So it's all movies. And you say it freezes and wont play anything till you reboot. Does CTRL-ALT-DEL work?
