Have the same problem and have been struggling with it for a couple of
months. Have tried everything, that I can think of..can't seem to adjust the
display accelaration, which I think could help me...that facility is not
avalible in Vista as it is in XP.....could really need some
guidance.....thanks in advance.

P.S. has previously been able to stream videos, might have made chances in
the set-up of the WMP.

Try this. Right-click Command Prompt (using the shortcut in Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories), choose Run as Administrator. Type the
following, pressing Enter after each entry:

regsvr32 wmp.dll

regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll

Also check in Control Panel > Default Programs > Set your Default Programs,
and make sure Windows Media Player has its defaults when you click on
"Choose defaults for this program."

Then try a site that uses the embedded WMP.

Contacted M$, they cannot help me fix this problem, unless they charge me
$59.95...for software that should work! Obviously I am not the only one with
this problem...

Registering wmp.dll on Vista will break some things... please don't do that.
(The RGS script you're using is for XP usage, Vista uses manifest-based
registration.)

Well h3ll, now what am I supposed to do if I already did this boneheaded
suggestion? I am new to Vista, and someone tries to help me, an I possibly
got something messed up...did I just permanently harm my computer? Can I fix
this problem or not? With the playing videos I got it narrowed down...certain
video sizes (right click in video/properties) wont play...example:
320x240,352x240,424x240,512x384, plays very choppy video, with perfect sound,
while on the same page a different video size (480x360,384x288,400x300) will
play perfect! What could be the problem here?
