Try better players like:

GOM Player
XnView
VLC Media Player

They're all free, all work with Vista, all way better than Media
Player.

Some online websites require that I use Move. Is there a way to change that
so I can use another media player? For example; tried to watch "Lost" on
abc.com and it just will not do anything at all. Unistalled and reinstalled
Move and still no luck. I have 2 different Virus protections running on the
computer and have disabled them both to try it that way, and nothing still.

Hi,

Can't play at all? Or do they open and stutter or start/stop? The latter
would be a problem with your throughput, either the connection is not fast
enough or some other program on your system is occupying the bandwidth.

What Rick said. Also,
http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#isolate
was my old diagnostics list which helps identify where a problem might be.
With the more data that Rick asked about, it should be possible to isolate
out your failure point pretty quickly. =)

Are you saying you can't click on a link and have it directly open the
player without downloading first, or that when you view the player embedded
into a web page that it is broken?

So if you click directly on the URL in the web page you get buffering
issues, but opening it directly in the player works... ?
