SIRIUS Internet Radio Media Player not working not properly because Windows update installed on my PC
My Sirius internet Player multimedia radio is not working properly because Windows updates are installed on my pc. updates KB971486 KB974455 KB974571 KB975467 KB975517 KB974155 KB976525 KB974470. Tested internet radio/media player for sirius on another computer and there is no problem. Have tried all of the fixes recommended by sirius... This update of windows seems to the source of the problem.
Does anyone have an idea with security update could be the cause of the problem? Should I uninstall this? If I find one that is causing the problem, how can I block it to move again?
Thank you

I recently haven't been able to burn a CD with Windows Media Player (he worked last week, but not now). I get an error message "Windows Media Player cannot find the file. The link between the library item and its digital media file associated with may be broken. "Try to fix the link or delete the item. There is a web help option which says that to fix a link, you click on the blue icon next to the item, then click "Browse this article. But the only icon I see is a little blue triangle next to individual songs in the library pane or list, there is no icon next to the name of the playlist. Although the click with the right button on the blue triangle gives me a few options, "Browse this point" is not one of them. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how can I sort it please!
