September 20, 200619 yr Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:"). how do i fix this??
September 21, 200619 yr A hammer would work wonders. I share your hate for computers, on most days. I had my whole work network just shut down today for no reason. I had to shut everything down and restart piece by piece. And I know NOTHING about networks. But I had to get it started in an hour to finish a job on time. Somehow, I got it restarted. No idea how to fix yours, but I wish you luck.
September 21, 200619 yr Not sure if this will help or not, just found it at Microsofts site. "800C000D: The specified protocol is not supported Windows Media Player does not support the protocol you are using to access the file. If you clicked a link on a Web page and received this error message, the link might not be valid. If you typed an Internet address and received this error message, ensure that you are using a protocol supported by Windows Media Player, and then try again. A list of supported protocols and the correct syntax follows: mms://server/filename (for example, a file with a .wma, .wmv, .asf, or .mp3 extension) http://server/filename mms://server/sami.asf?SAMI=http://server/sami/sami_demo.smi (SAMI file) If Windows Media Player supports the protocol and you still cannot play the content, ensure that the Player is configured to use all of its supported protocols. To configure protocol options On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Network tab. In the Streaming protocols area, select all the protocol check boxes. Note The supported protocols can be used only to stream digital media files. Windows Media Player cannot be used as a browser. "
