Open Media Player. The default settings in Vista hide the menus; press ALT and F on the keyboard together to view the menus( File, View, Play, etc.) then click on Tools, then Options. Go to the Security tab and put a check in the box beside Run script commands and rich media streams when the player is in a web page. click Apply and/or OK

Hopefully that'll do it.

No that didn't work. Now I am downloading it, and reinstalling wmp to see if fixes it.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and was able to view DVDs until a few days ago. Now there seems to be no definitive answer as to how to fix the problem. Any new ideas out there? Thanks..

try to restore your computer to before you did an update.

from what i have, after you update vista, your windows media player 11 wont work and sometimes IE7 and Mozilla Firefox wont work.

so restore your computer form before the update. hope it helps

Thanks, I tried that previously, but my computer is so new, there was nothing to restore it to. What I've ended up doing is downloading the free VLC media player from cnet.com and setting it as my default. It doesn't fix my problem with Windows Media Center/Player, but at least I can watch DVDs on my computer again, albeit not with WMP. I don't know that there are any other options to me unless I do a complete re-install from my computer's recovery disk and I really don't want to have to do that. Thanks for your advice.

When I click Tools then Options, the only option that shows is Burn. Any ideas on how to get my options back?

I have a brand new comp with vista 11 on it. I transfered all of music files to the new comp and everytime I play a song-it doesn't matter which-there's a skipping/buffering problem at the end of the song. And I definately didn't have this problem before. Is there anything I can do?

media player 11?

yup
