Can't watch on line movie

Nov 23, 2004 6:51PM PST

I downloaded the latest version of Windows Media Player WMP10.0 recently. but each time when i use it to watch on line movie it end up with these words "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct."

But i fact i have not that kind of problem it mentioned
I didn't experience this with WMP9.0
Can anybody help?

when I first downloaded WMP 10. my son couldn't see most of his videos, I went to properties see which code was there, googled and downloaded the codecs its easy to do and now we have no more problems, it seems this needs codecs and the WMP 9 had those codecs integrated.
