Vista Business edition & MMS protocol/Media Player
On one out of four Vista Business machines, the Windows Media Server MMS
files will not start to play or stream automatically when browsing a site
with IE7. On the other four Vista machines a seperate window will open
automatically and start playing the streaming media within Media Player. But
on this one Vista machine it will not reconize the protocol at all when
browsing a site with a link to the MMS files. However, if one manually copies
and pastes the URL (to the MMS files and with the MMS protocol for the
streaming video) then the Vista machine will play the media file. Firewall
is disabled. All other settings between the Vista machines appear to be the
same. TIA for any help on this one...

You should post to a Vista newsgroup. This newsgroup is for the XP OS.
Here are the Vista newsgroups:

Am I missing something, or are the Vista Newsgroups not listed here ?

Lastly do yourself a favor and dump the awful web interface in place of a
newsreader to access what are actually Usenet newsgroups, not forums. XP
comes with Outlook Express and Vista comes with Windows Mail both of which
can access newsgroups. Windows Mail is already set up for it.

That's simply nonsense. Rock referred E-Double to a more appropriate place,
where he could likely get better help than here, and you call that a
"virtual spanking"?

Re: Vista Business edition & MMS protocol/Media Player
Sounds good. I would definately rather use a Vista forum/newsgroup for my
Vista questions. But I had been using the Forum site for years and was just
not aware of the newer MS Newsgroups.
Thanks,
e.
p.s. The solution to the original MMS/Media problem was to delete the old
user profile on the suspect Vista machine and recreate a new one. Apparently
that one profile just got corrupted somehow.
Re: Vista Business edition & MMS protocol/Media Player
such a simple question could have been answered and included a reference to a better news group.
not just telling someone to go elsewhere. as appears to be a habit.
