Why can I not access the “Network” tab in the players Tools:Options menu?
The Microsoft KB article on fixing this sort of corruption is here. On NT-based systems, Jason said that renaming the “Windows Media” folder under the hidden directory “c:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\local settings\application data\microsoft” got his “Network” tab working again (these files are found at “%appdata%\local\microsoft\windows media” on Vista). (It appears the bad file may be WMSDKNS.dtd under the “Windows Media” folder in that directory.) In some cases, running “regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wmnetmgr.dll” may fix this up. In other cases – your system is likely an OS that has been reinstalled in some fashion. For some reason, half of your networking should be pointing to the current profile (c:\documents and settings\user.blah) and half to the old profile (c:\documents and settings\user). I do not know how to fix that short of creating a new user profile. This should be a bug in NT networking that is fixed in Windows XPSP2.

On Win9x based systems, this can be caused by either the “Program Files” or the user name containing non-ASCII characters. In this condition, streaming would be completely broken.
