I tried it, and I gotta say, my 6-year-old PC sure was having a hard time with that page! Using URL Snooper 2, I was able to get a number of multimedia file URLs, which I was then able to open with MPC (also they were playable in Windows Media Player 6.4). The files were: mms://a1812.v8725c.c8725.g.vc.akamaistream.net/7/1812/8725/v0001/msnent. download.akamai.com/8725/DBA90618/published/Video/Projects/High/rs_208a_ full_082006.wmv mms://msnvideo.wmod.llnwd.net/fc/a392/e1/8/mbr/rs_204b_perf_lukas_072506 ..wmv mms://a1012.v8725c.c8725.g.vc.akamaistream.net/7/1012/8725/v0001/msnent. download.akamai.com/8725/DBA90618/published/Video/Projects/High/rs_204a_ full_072306.wmv mms://msnvideo.wmod.llnwd.net/fc/a392/e1/8/mbr/201a_episode.wmv mms://a1174.v26630f.c26630.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1174/26630/769/od-vid eo.msn.com/8/mbr/rs_extra_brooke_int_081706.wmv mms://a1174.v26630f.c26630.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/1174/26630/89/od-vide o.msn.com/8/mbr/rs_extra_fashion_082406.wmv There may or may not be a way to trick Web sites into thinking that MPC is WM 9 (or 10), but I'm not sure how this would be done. But if this were possible, the URL Snooper step wouldn't be necessary. -- Dave

I will go get URL Snooper and use it for these webpages that demand MP 9 or 10. Thanks again, Dee

If you use MPC, then you should also probably install one of the major codec packages sich as the K lite codec pack. Using WMP 6.4 and the above download I am able to play 95% or better of all the media out there. I also have Quicktime, Flash and Real alternative installed. Someday I will consider getting rid of WMP 6.4 and trying another solution, but for now it is good enough for me.

I have been using Media player 6.4 for quite a while, but I find that it doesn't work on some sites where you need a more recent version of media player. I was thining of trying the Classic version which somebody mentiion here. I don't want all the junk on WMP 9 or 10 as I don't use Media player all that often. Just when a site demands it.
