Subject: Help! NSK Live Sumo feed and Bill's new software :-(


Sumo fans who are watching the Sumo movies through the NSK live feed beware!

I was stupid enough to say "yes" when Windows Media Player 8 (which comes with Windows XP)
asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the newly released version 9!
This new version, though improved in some ways - will no longer play the Sumo movies at
mms://live.sumo.or.jp/sumolive/ giving the error message that the destination file may be
damaged or is of a file type not supported by Media Player (FYI it also doesn't like some
*.asx format files)! :-(

Has anyone experienced a similar problem and/or does he/she know a solution? Obviously
(hey, it's Microsoft) there's no "uninstall" option which easily allows me to downgrade
back to version 8 again...

I already missed yesterday's matches because of this and would like to miss today's
matches as well. Help! ;-)
