The pop-up ads at MSNBC have also gotten worse.
"Observer3" wrote in message ... I frequently watch news videos at MSNBC. A few weeks ago, they changed the format. In order to watch their clips, you need a net.passport account (or whatever it's called), and you must download WMP 9. I was somewhat leary of the .net account, but since I enjoy watching those videos, I went ahead and registered/installed what they wanted me to. WMP 9 works okay, although there are a few glitches watching the videos at MSNBC. The MSN video is in beta format, hence the minor problems. "Gene Tomlinson" wrote in message ...

I like to watch some news clips on MSNBC, but can't play any unless I DL and install media player 9. :-( Oh BTW it also says I need a MS .Net Passport to use MSN Video! System is running okay and I don't want to shoot myself in the old CPU! Thanks Pat Conover I use it with windows ME and it will not play MP43 files and Mircosoft no longer has a codec for that mode.
