When I try to listen to radio audio broadcasts I get the box saying "cannot create direct show player" What can I do? Does this have something to do with directx system? How can I fix this to listen to radio streaming on the internet? Thanks for any suggestions. :knock: :knock:

depends on file format

What is it you are trying to listen to? Url?
It depends on the file format the streaming audio is being broadcast in.
Real player, Media player, winamp and others can hi jack the
format comming in.
Make sure you have the right player installed and configured. :giddy:

I had the same problem when I installed windblows media player 10... I had to roll it back to 9 to get rid of the problem. If you figured something else out let me know I would be interested in hearing what it was

I use Mozilla and i was hoping that wasnt the issue, do i need to go and download all players, Real Player, quick time, etc etc...or is the issue with media player 10? :darth:

I tried to get WMP 9 it says it is no longer avail. for XP users.....

Ok so I installed an Ogg codec, and I installed directX, and I also installed ffdshow, etc etc, still not working the error message reads as such

It seems that Spybot deleted some files it shouldn't have.
