Can't hink of what to do about your Internet problem right now, but I use Firefox and I'm pretty sure it's incompatible with Windows Media Player, but there is a plugin somewhere on this site (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&category=Popular&numpg=10&pageid=3) that will allw you to use Windows Media Player with Firefox.

i alrady have the plugin and everything, but it doens't work becasue of the first part. When i try wathcing a video at like spiekdhumor.com, it drings up the box to dial up to connect , even though im conencted now

Look in Control Panel>>Network Connections and see if there is a reference to a dial-up connection there. If there is, delete it. It may pay to run the Network Setup Wizard again, too.

I'd also run a Spyware and Virus scan. There are lousy bugs out there which try to dial "900" numbers, etc, which could be messing with your network settings.

WindowsUpdate Media Player also, please. There ae THREE recent updates for it, including Version 10 as the latest update.
