He he he....I'm in a better mood now. I just found a way to listen in the SS again.
I shut it all down and reloaded Windows again. I found an old ISP software disc from like 2002, loaded it, used my current account info, and I'm up and running again with Media Player. I'm sure this is just a temporary condition though, I can't be left vulnerable hanging out back in the stone ages, but for now, all I wanna do is listen, so I'm good to go.
When I was using the up-to-date ISP software, I was prompted to install Windows Updates, which I proceeded to do. I think I installed updates that weren't compatible with my operating system, which caused Media Player to no longer operate. Also, I installed the most current edition of Internet Explorer which I don't think was compatible. It is intended more for Windows XP, but claimed to work with ME, but it didn't.
More credible evidence that ME is junk and Microsoft probably doesn't know how to fix the glitches when upgrading program software.(just my opinion, which doesn't reflect the views or opinions of others or this website's admins who are more knowledgeable on the subject).
Maybe I'll try to record again and see what happens, but I'm probably still beating a dead horse.
