Streaming video

I'm using Internet Explorer and windows Vista and I can't watch streaming video using Windows Media Player. Video files (from my hard disk) are played correctly.

When I try to watch streaming video, I get the following error message:
You've encountered error message C00D1199 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.
Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
The file type is not supported by the Player. For a list of file types (formats) that are supported by Windows Media Player, see the table on supported file types in this topic.
The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the Player.
Your sound card or sound controller is not configured properly. Try changing the audio output device associated with the Player.
To change the audio output device
Click the arrow below the Now Playing tab, and then click More Options.
Click the Devices tab, and then double-click Speakers.
In the Audio device to use box, select a different sound card or sound controller.
The file type is supported, but you are trying to play it in a way that is not supported by the Player. For example, you might have tried to drag a DVD file with a .vob extension from a DVD to the Windows Media Player icon. Or you might have tried to open a .vob file by clicking Open on the File menu.
You are trying to play one part of a multipart file. Use a newsreader or other program to combine the files, and then try again.

I'm not able to solve the problem with this suggestions. I think some settings are wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
it streamed for me in the window using wmp, so:

download the latest version of windows media player from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

If you are on say windows media play 9, you will have to download windows media player 10, then 11. You have to do it in order, you can't skip one.

Also, try downloading divx, i have that installed too and it may use a codec from that

http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx

downloadit from there, the free one has all of the coecs
 
Thanks for your tips, but unfortunately streaming video still doesn't work:
I use Windows Vista, so I already have WMP 11.
I've downloaded Divx, but that didn't help either.

Maybe it would help to uninstall WMP en then reinstall it, but as far as I know that's not possible.
