I have WinXP and since I downloaded WMP ver 9 a few months
ago I can't play any streaming audio that uses Windows,
only RealOne works. I tried getting into file types to
make sure all the Windows extentions were defaulted to
WinMediaPlayer, but still error pops up: "0x80040241:
Windows Media Player does not support this file type"
Also, I tried deleting the whole player and re-downloading
that version or a previous one, but no luck.
