Windows Media Player 'page not found' and .wax files

Accidentally, I posted this in the Windows 7 forum, please excuse the double post:

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have problems when you try to play Windows Media Player/Media Guide/Internet Radio.

When I chose 'listen' for a station, I get a box of "do you want to or save this open file."

If I chose open, I get an error "this program cannot display this webpage".

If I choose to save, I save a .wax file (at this time I going to my office for my mental health) and double click it to play the station I want to hear.  It's very annoying.

I want to do a lot and hope that there is a way to make this process much easier.

I have Windows Media Player 11.0 on Vista Home Premium.  I tried to update and it says there is no update.

Thanks again for your help

Please try to set WMP as default player again, by selecting it in the list and click set this program as default .

In addition, this happens with all radio stations, or just one?

The dialog box that opens gets also a checkbox called always ask before opening this type of file ? If so, you can clear the check box and click Open , and the dialog box should not appear more after that.

If that doesn't help either, you can try to delete temporary Internet files and the Internet Explorer Cookies.

  • Windows Media Player will not play the .mp4 files after installation IE10 - BEX error message

    Hello! Recently, when I tried to read a file .mp4 on Windows Media Player, the player would immediately stop working and tell me that he could not play this type of file, even if the day before he could do so without any problem. I had an option to close the program or click to more information, so when I clicked for more information, he gave me this:

    Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.
    I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.
    I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.
    I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPU
    ASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard
    8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAM
    Diamond Radeon HD 7870PE52GV 7870 GHz video card
    And all my programs are installed on this:
    SAMSUNG series Pro 840 MZ-7PD256BW 2.5 "256GB SATA III MLC internal Solid State Drive
    I'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!
     
    It sounds like your question. I think you should uninstall this update and
    hide and see if that solves your problem. Please report.

    I tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.
