Thank you Jazzmandave!
Logging onto Sirius, my media player gets to READY, but nothing happens. I use IE8 and Windows 7, and probably Media Player 12. Sirius says they can't find out what is wrong either. Have tried many fixes with no luck. Media Player works otherwise and I can listen to Sirius as long as I log in as a different person from my main profile or on another computer. Before I try Jazzmandave solution I need to know if its for Win 7. Thanks
I tried you Found a Fix fix and it did not open the system drive folder.
My sirius online at work was working perfectly, until 2 days ago. When i login, it says, can not connect to media, and READY. Is it something than i can do (i'm a dummy in the pc world), and i have no music at work at all. Please help me.:
Maybe you work is blocking streaming music?
If not, try another browser and see if you have the same results.
Hi guys,
I've gone through this thread and tried ALL OF IT and still nothing works for me. I'm using IE 8 on Windows XP and I don't use Windows Media Player. I just use the Sirius player that pops up off the website. Here's a quick run down
-I selected NEVER under the Cache settings
-I've deleted my history
-I added .bak to end of the WMP11 folder
-Sirius IS now a trusted site on my computer
-My Abode Flash Player is updated and WMP11 is installed on the computer
-I ran the CMD registration
-This is a work computer, but I have listened to sirius on several other computers in my office, so it's not blocked. I called my IT department and they can't figure it out.
-Basically I've done everything on this thread (and many others) and am hoping somebody out there has another fix.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Jaimee,
Sounds like you're in the same boat as me - it's not working for me either and I did pretty much everything you describe.
Here's a question for the Sirius people -> can Sirius' databases hold onto a token/key/whatever that makes it think it's in another state - that is causing the player to not stream? Is there anyway they can force their system to clear out their "caches" and restart us from scratch to see if this clears the browser problem?
I'm just saying (from a software perspective) something is being held somewhere that's turning off the streaming. So, logically, this has to be cleared/reset whatever - anyway we can get Sirius to check for us and clear this up?
Joe... still -> :mad:
Hey Joe,
I spoke with Sirius earlier this morning and I cannot get over how clueless they are about this problem. They told me to make sure my flash player and WMP were updated (which they are) and that was literally IT. They had nothing else to say. It's clear this is a widespread problem and they seem not to have researched it at all.
My annual subscription is up in a few weeks, so I'm going to call back to explain that I'm not renewing (because the only reason I subscribe is to stream online at work) and see if that motivates them in any way to work on it. I'll ask them about you mentioned and let you know.
Jaimee
I dont doubt that you are having an issue but, its not widespread. I can login with IE and Firefox both with no problem at all.
Typically, when some issue is widespread, I get killed with emails. So far, its just a couple of people on the forums... no emails yet.
Maybe instead of updating windows media and internet explorer you should roll them back. Do you have access to system restore? Roll your system back a week back to when it was working fine and see if it works.
Hey, Jaimee,
I finally got it working - but not with a browser. I downloaded the following:
http://software.informer.com/getfree...us-player-1.1/
But, before I ran it, I did what M$ suggested and reset the media player settings:
Open a terminal, and type the following:
regsvr32.exe wmpdxm.dll
Now, run the program from PGH Design - it's just a wrapper to the Sirius Widget - and voila, it works.
Now, if you restart, like I did, sometimes the setting gets lost - so I've had to redo the regsvr32 command whenever PGH Design's widget doesn't stream.
Not a perfect resolution - but at least I'm getting my tunes now.
let me know how that works for you.
Again, IE8 and Firefox will not run even after the regsvr32 command. I have no idea what the difference is between these two things - but there's something.
peace. JOe... now setting to -> :)
Oh, just to leave a record of the source of the command:

thanx.
peace. JOe... :cool:
Thanks a lot for the help Joe, but unfortunately that PGH Sirius player didn't work for me. It gives me the same message: "Ready". I did the regsvr32 command and it said it was successful. I don't get it!! Ugh.
And Head Honcho, I don't have access to System Restore at work. I've worked at my company for 3 years and this is the 4th office I've moved to. On each of the other computers, I was able to stream. Even the IT guy was able to stream from his computer and he just works a few floors away. I don't get it. I'm sure it's something really minor and it will just remain a mystery. I really miss hearing Howard though :(
As always, let me know if you think of anything else and thanks for all your help!
Jaimee
May I suggest buying your IT guy a coffee? Maybe he can come look at your box? Its one of those things that is impossible to diagnose from where I am.
Your IT verified that he can stream so, it isnt your network. have you verified that you user credentials can stream from a different computer? Have you tried streaming from home? At least then you would know the issue is isolated to your work machine.
Sirius Honcho- my problem is that music streams with my subsription under one profile and not under another on the same computer! Sirius tech could not fix. Plays ok on other computers as well. Tried most of the suggested fixes but none work.
We had to create a new profile to get sirius to play for me. It was a profile issue in my case- all the other suggestions offered were of no help. Hope my fix can help others.
