Media Player/IE errors

Basalt · #1 12-28-2003, 05:10 AM

When trying to access the Radio Tuner in WMP, I get a string of Internet Explorer script errors. WMP appears to work OK otherwise. I have recently installed RealOnePlayer - could there be a conflict with WMP? WMP radio tuner has worked for me in the past. Any ideas gratefully received!

In IE, Tools > Internet Options > Advanced (tab).

Make sure "Disable script bugging" is checked and "Display a notification about every script error" is not checked.

Thanks for your tip. I have checked these options in IE and they are as you say they should be. So no joy? Any other ideas?!

Hasn't anyone out there had the same problem? I have tried re-installing WMP (Ver9) a number of times and still get the same problem, ie when I select Radio Tuner I get a never-ending series of Internet Explorer script errors. Other features of Media Player work OK. Settings in IE are as mentioned in my previous posting and I don't see anything obviously wrong - but there must be something wrong somewhere. Presumably with IE? I have installed the latest upgrades for IE. Should I be un-installing WMP and un-installing IE before re-installing them both?
But how do you un-install these programs?
Once again, any help gratefully received!

Have you gone to Tools > Options > (tab) Security (in Media Player 9, not IE) and done some trial and error with the script command options and zone settings?

Thanks again for coming back to me, Esaladuane.
I shall certainly try what you say - I have quickly tried the 2 script command options but no success. I shall now try the Zone script options. It'll be very much 'working in the dark' as I think I may be a bit out of my depth on this one. But what is so puzzling is that the thing has worked fine in the past - I think in retrospect that perhaps the problem arose after I'd installed the IE ver 6, Service Pack 1 upgrade. Maybe I should revert to an earlier version - if that's possible. Anyway I'll keep at it! Many thanks. Bob
