Struggle with Windows Media Player in Vista...HELP!
|
|
Hi
Wonder if anyone could help me, just swopped my xp PC for a laptop running Vista, quite happy so far..but Windows Media Player is only letting me access the 'Find Album Info' once and everytime after that it is telling me it needs to be connected to the internet. I have checked the option tabs and ensured the preferences state connect to the internet, but still it does the same thing?? Has anyone had this problem or better help me to resolve? Its quite frustrating not being able to update the album artwork when it was so easy with XP...
Cheers
JP

Are you accessing the internet via wireless, could it be your firewall that is blocking WMP access to the net?

Have tried the Firewall settings and ensured it allows WMP but still hasn't solved the problem....

OK the next step would be to connect to the internet wired and see if that works.

Ok stumbled on the answer in another forum here: http://www.webuser.co.uk/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/278153/an/0/page/4
I changed my LAN Settings and by ticking 'Automatically detect settings' seems to have resolved the problem. I thought I would post this in case anyone else has the same problem in the future.
CHEERS FOR NOW!
