Hi Dan. I can answer one of your situations there. When you click on a
windows media stream, if you have winamp as your default player, it will
always come up, because they claim that winamp will play the streaming WMP.
As for the corrupt message, I am not too sure there. Let's face it, windows
media player is from Microsoft, so it is corrupted by default! Hey, did my
computer say that??? Bad computer, bad!!![devilish grin!!LOL!]

Robert Robinson
