When I go to play my launchcast, it says I need a "Windows Media Player plugin"?

Question

When I go to play my launchcast it says "The Windows Media Player plugin needs to be installed in order to play Yahoo! LaunchCAST radio.

Please click on the yellow bar above to install the plugin."

But there is no yellow bar. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Are you on a Mac or a PC?

Answer 2

If the plug-in is disabled in Internet Explorer, you won't see the yellow bar. Yahoo! did not anticipate this scenario.  Under IE, click Tools, click Manage Add-ons and enable the Windows Media Player add-ons wmpdxm.dll and wmp.dll.  Also, you will get best results if you are using Windows Media Player 11 (versus 9 or 10).
