An ongoing frustration...

Post by byllsong » Thu Nov 13, 2008 2:07 pm

Hi ya'll,Whenever I get the chance to listen to the forwards, I am able to hear most of them, but I often run into this problem. Click to download file (I get this message) Windows Internet Explorer Internet Explorer cannot download song.php from taximusic.com Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found Please try again later.Is there a way out of this. I know I'm missing out on some Great music. Some people's file just will not open. I don't know what to do.Thank you,Billy

Go to this link and then install FIREFOX(an alternative web browser program). It's free, works much better for Taxi stuff than Explorer...http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/good luck!Nov 13, 2008, 4:07pm, byllsong wrote:Hi ya'll,Whenever I get the chance to listen to the forwards, I am able to hear most of them, but I often run into this problem.

Hi Billy,Steve's solution works, but when this happens to me I just right click the link and download the file to my desktop. Since the download is usually just a small mpu shortcut link it comes down fast and is no big deal to delete afterwards.You got options, friend! Hope It Helps AllenNov 13, 2008, 4:07pm, byllsong wrote:Hi ya'll,Whenever I get the chance to listen to the forwards, I am able to hear most of them, but I often run into this problem.

I use Allen's method, and it works for me. After clicking, I "save" the mpu shortcut, then it can play after that.Good luck!Nov 13, 2008, 4:48pm, allends wrote:Hi Billy,Steve's solution works, but when this happens to me I just right click the link and download the file to my desktop.

Then I click on Open file (or whatever comes up..don't recall) inside the same window. I don't close the window then look for the shortcut...I click Open right away.-then the song startsGood luck!

I've been having problems too and I use explorer . . . never knew there was an issue with it. So thanks, you might have solved a problem for me.

It might be one of the latest windows updates to Explorer. You might need to adjust your security parameters.

I have Firefox and IE so when one gives me trouble I just bounce to the other.
