Launchcast help?

Question

it ses i need the win. media plug-in and then click the yellow bar. but der aint one der. Which windows media player plug-ins do I need to install

Answer 1

Launchcast radio under IE is Windows Media Player in disguise.  So I always suggest using Windows Media Player 11 even though Yahoo only suggests it for YMJ unlimited.  Whether you use WMP 9, 10 or 11, make sure that under WMP more options that under the Player tab you have the box checked to download codecs automatically.  Make sure IE allows ActiveX.  I do not know what media player plug-in is required other than possibly Flash and Launchcast will attempt to load Flash behind the scenes.  So maybe upgrade your level of Flash yourself  (uncheck Google toolbar box):

If you still have problems, check the system event logs ( use event viewer).  Whatever plug-in Launchcast is looking for may show up in the event entry.

  

And you can always report the problem to Yahoo tech and get their help.

Added.  There is a plug-in supplied by YMJ.  So if you can't resolve the plug-in issue, try installing Yahoo Music Jukebox.
