Hey belthazor,
I think I found out what was causing this all to happen... I had to look further into the problem because it continued to happen... And every time I would remove the cookies/temporary internet files, it would work again...
So I ended up finding out the problem (I think)... This is what I did to figure it out... I ended up wiping out all temp files and cookies, then open the browser and try out the link - it worked...
Then when opening up MediaPlayer 9.0 and then trying the link again - it went back to not working... I guess there was something within MediaPlayer that was making this all happen... In any case, I reinstalled MediaPlayer 9.0, and so far, it hasn't happened again...
Again, thanks for the initial help because I wouldn't have been able to solve (or at least think I solved) this issue without a place to start...
And of course, there will be another post within this thread by me if what I did does not work... LOL.
