Windows Media player 11 downloaded upgrade not working??

[Guest Steve]

When I upgraded to media player 11 from my OEM 10 version several problems

started I have spent many hours with self help and followed all instructions.

My settings are all as they should be:

Problem 1) When I try to download videos I get the following message:

"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. error code C00D006" I have

set my proxy settings to AUTO and checked all options.

Problem 2) I cant retrieve album art information from the internet even

though I am permanently connected on 8meg broadband. I have discovered that

this is a firewall problem as if I close PC Cillin it works. I have added

the address to allowed sites in PC Cillin, also media player and followed all

self help suggestions I could find, none of them work.

Problem3) I cant burn music files to disc any more. I have checked all the

settings and they are as they should be and as they were before the upgrade.

I have emailed Microsoft twice with no reply.

I am using XP Can anyone help. Thanks. Steve.

There are issues that need to be addressed with WMP11. I downloaded it

to use my workstation as a media server. It was unable to detect a PS3

with a wired connection. I gave up, installed TVersity and now it works

fine.
