Playing MPEGs

[Tommy]

I am having issues playing mpegs.  I use IE Explorer 6.0 and Windows Media Player 9.  

I used to be able to click on an mpeg and it would automatically start playing in WMP.  But now, if I click on an mpeg...it doesn't play.   It just "hour glasses" forever.  

Also, when I try to right click and select "save target as..." it never downloads....it takes forever.  

I used to be able to do this with no problems.  What could be going on here?  Thanks.

Have done any updates on wmp9/win2k?

I did some updates and it seems to be working fine now.  Thanks.
