Windows Media Player won't stream

Here's an issue with Windows Media Player in Vista that was driving me nuts!

After I installed VISTA 64bit Service Pack 2 WMP 11 stopped working with some online radios. There is no possibility of uninstalling or re-installing so couldn't even try that. I finally found the solution in a Microsoft TechNet Forum:

If you rename the "Windows Media" folder at: %appdata%\local\microsoft did the trick and it is working fine.

Weird. But works.

This is seriously cool little trailer. I wish I had one. I would equip it with wireless and work off... ANYWHERE.

My Latest iStockPhoto addition

The goblins at iStockphoto just approved my newest addition to iStockphoto.com.

Check it out, it's a dusk photo of the Miami Skyline taken from the Rickenbacker causeway coming from Key Biscayne.




The truck lights where a little bit of a lucky shot. I had the tripod setup and my Nikon D200 setup on a 2 second release timer. So I heard something big coming behind me, closed my eyes and released the shutter. The camera started counting and it released just at the perfect time. Couldn't have done it if tried timing it manually.

Canon Easy-PhotoPrint Pro Ver. 2.0.0

There is a new version of the Easy-PhotoPrint Pro Photoshop Plugin.

You can find it here (USA Site)

Once there select your OS:


Then click the eppprowin200en.exe file, it's the first in the software section.


First thing that I noticed is that for Vista 64bit which I have, it correctly installs itself under program files and not program files (x86). Previous versions didn't do that and even though I selected Vista 64 in the dropdown box, it left me with doubts that it was actually a 64bit app.
