Hi Deb. Have you by any chance installed some software since the last time you listened to those .asx streams. I'm asking because the same thing happened to me when I installed Winamp 5.1. Logically, as a couple of list members pointed out when I mentioned the problem, with .asx files on my computer directed to associate with WMP, there shouldn't be any connection to the Winamp install. However, when I uninstalled Winamp 5.1 and reinstalled Winamp 5.093, .asx files began to play again just fine through WMP. Just thought I'd pass it along in case your dealing with something similar.
Meanwhile, with the link in focus, try doing a "save target as" from the audio file to your desktop. Then press enter on the resulting file. For me, that was a workaround while I figured out what was going on. Larry At 11:18 PM 10/4/2005, you wrote: >Hi: >I am using WMP10 and there are some .asx segments I need to listen >to.
