Windows Media Player Live Video And Audio Streams.

Hi, when i try and listen to a web radio or watch a video i cant becuase instead of the bar where you press pause and play isn't there it is just a white square with a red cross in it. Further research i found that it is a windows media player problem as every windows that required it said it wasnt installed when it clearly is. I have tried multiple things but none of them have worked. Please help me get this sorted out as i am on the verge of giving up.

Thanks, your all kind people.

no button usually means java needs to be installed.
Sun Microsystems
free download for java

If you really enjoy internet radio (streaming) , checkout Winamp.

But does that mean i wont be able to listen to radio that require wmp.

I already have java installed
