Re: COOD1197

Wow there really is something wrong with you. These are the suggestions of
what to include:
When you ask your question on the newsgroup, be as specific as possible. For
example, be sure to include the following basic information:
Windows Media Player version (on the Help menu, click About Windows Media
Player). For example, 10.00.00.xxxx.
Windows operating system version (click Start, right-click My Computer, and
then click Properties). In your question, include the full version name (for
example, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2).
The task that you were trying to accomplish prior to encountering the problem.
If an error message is displayed, note the error message text (for example,
"Windows Media Player has encountered an unknown error").
If an error message is displayed, note the error message ID number (for
example, "C00D11CD"). You can determine the ID number by clicking the Web
Help or More Information button when the error message is displayed.
If the problem only occurs when you use a particular file, Web link, or URL,
provide details about that item.
Here is what I wrote:
I have read through the posts and cannot find an answer to this error
message. I have tried the suggestions in Windows Media Player Help and in
other links about this problem. I have Windows Media Player 10 and Windows
XP Pro. The page I am trying to access the media from is:
http://www.sixflags.com/parks/greatadventure/index.asp
If you scroll to the bottom of the page there is a place to click to take a
virtual ride on Kingda Ka.
I know others can see this without problem and someone noted that they were
using WMP 8 if that helps. I did try saving that target so I could attempt
to play it with MediaPlayer2 which I saw suggested in a post, but when I
tried to save it it said Download could not complete. I am able to play
other media such as in e-mail attachments; this is the first issue I have
encountered. If you could please help me figure this out, I would appreciate
it. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Notice how all aspects were covered in my post.
