2. I have audio but no video, what's wrong?

The most common reason for this problem is that the video codec needed to render the video wasn't installed or downloaded correctly. The Windows Media Player should automatically download the correct codec when you attempt to view a video with a new codec. You simply need to accept the download, and be patient. It may take 10-30 seconds for it to get around to letting you know what it's doing.

3.That sounded good but it didn't work. CODEC issues for Internet and Quick Tips
The CODECs used to stream the online "Quick Tips" are all standard Microsoft CODECs. If the content will not play or you receive an error that says you don't have the appropriate CODEC then you have a couple of options to try. First, upgrade the Windows Media Player, the latest version will have all the latest CODECs installed by default. Also, you can make sure you are connected to the internet and try to watch the videos again, be patient. If the video doesn't start the media player SHOULD attempt to download the CODEC automatically from the Microsoft website, but it may take a few minutes to kick in based on your net performance. Lastly, you may re install the latest version of Internet Explorer, it also has the latest Windows Media Player and CODECs in it. Get the CODECS HERE

4. The video plays in short bursts or the sound stutters and stops.

Your Internet connection, (bandwidth), is not fast enough to stream the content you've selected or the server is VERY busy or there is a physical disruption between you and our server.

Check your bandwidth. Here are some places to try. You should get 46Kbps or higher to view the videos

If your bandwidth is OK then try again later.

5. I see the Windows Media logo moving but I never get the video or audio?

This is generally solved at your end by your network administrator. The normal internet protocol is HTTP://. Most network admins automatically allow this protocol through their firewall or other security. The Windows Media files are streamed using MMS://. This protocol is less known and so is not allowed in by default. Contact your network admin and have them allow Windows Media or the MMS:// protocol. This may also be listed as Netshow. View this articel from Microsoft covering firewalls and video streaming.

This can also be caused by a physical problem between you and our server. Try again later.

6. How do I know what version of the media player Ihave?

For most Windows machines you can find out using this method. Select Start>Programs>Accessories>Entertainment and select the Windows Media Player. Once the player has launched you can select Help>About Windows Media Player and it will display some information including the Version number similar to this: Version: 6.4.09.1121
