Hello again Bernard,

Has this been resolved? It looks like Chris asked you to run the Windows
Media Diagnostic Tool and post the cab file. Here's the URL for the
utility:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=c33b924e-a2ae-4f22-93ea-287753c52926&displaylang=en

Make sure you get that whole string in the address line.

If you can post that CAB file to this newsgroup , I can get someone from the
Windows Media Player team to look at it for you.

My eyes will be peeled on this post, and I eagerly await that cab file so I
can further investigate your issue.
