Cant stream

I cant stream videos/audio from the internet on any media player on my pc, windows media player just stops working when trying to play streams. any advice


info:
Windows vista
windows media player 11
8mb internet
2gb ram

Uninstall Media Player 11 and reinstall it... You can find it by doing a Google search

As said in this thread (http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?t=86697) (the Search function (http://www.techspot.com/vb/search.php) is very handy, you should use it):
Taken from: Streaming errors in Windows Media Player
1. Close Windows Media Player. (To do this, on the File menu, click Exit.)

2. Click Start, and then click Run.

3. In the Run dialog box, type the following (exactly as shown):

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media

This step opens the following folder on your computer:

SystemDrive:\Documents and Settings\UserProfileName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Media

4. In this folder, rename the folder 10.0 to 10.0.bak. For more information about renaming folders, see To change the name of a file or folder.

5. Start the Player and try to stream the content again.As the version of WMP that you're using is 11 the folder name will be 11.0 or something similar but the advice is still good.
