PopUps from WinMP

Postby Schmeelkie » Mon Feb 27, 2006 2:42 pm

Arg - I'm getting deluged with little pop-ups from the Windows Media Player like this:

Security Warning
The current Web page is trying to open a site in your Trusted sites list. Do you want to allow this? Current site: cdn.fastclick.net Trusted site: (intranet site here) Clicked yes once, but it didn't stop....

I click no and a minute or so later another pops up. Arg!! I emailed our IT people, but they haven't gotten back to me - thought I'd ask y'all... How can I make this go away?!?!?!

Try opening the Media Player first, select the "radio tuner" button, select genre "classical" find beethoven.com on the list, expand the b.com listing, click "play".

If you're lucky, this will bypass the browser security settings that are generating the popups.

Schmeelkie, you can try this:
1) Open Windows Media Player
2) Click the TOOLS menu (if you don't see the menu, click the little down arrow in the upper right corner)
3) Select OPTIONS
4) Click the SECURITY tab
5) Uncheck the box marked "Do not prompt me before playing enhanced content that uses web pages"
6) click OK, close WMP and launch the Beethoven stream.
7) When it asks you if you want to view the enhanced content, click NO.

Unfortunately you won't see the now playing info, but you won't get the pop-ups either.
Sincerely,
