:confused: I am not able to listen to Internet Radio with Windows Internet Explorer 7. Someone told me that there is some kind of setting in Explorer that may be blocking the radio stations.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

The problem could be that your radio add-ons button is disabled. Please read the following:

Add-on Management
Internet Explorer's Add-on Management feature lets you view, enable and disable the list of add-ons which can be loaded by Internet Explorer. Add-ons include browser helper objects, ActiveX controls, toolbar extensions and browser extensions.

To view or modify the add-ons on your computer by launching Manage Add-ons:

1.
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, click Manage Add-ons, and then click Enable or Disable Add-ons.

2.
To disable an add-on, select it in the list in the Manage Add-ons dialog box and select the Disable radio button.

3.
To enable an add-on, select it in the list in the Manage Add-ons dialog box and select the Enable radio button.

4.
Click OK to confirm.

Note: Disabling an add-on does not remove it from your computer. It simply prevents Internet Explorer from executing the add-on's code—it does not prevent other software from executing the add-on. If an add-on is disabled, website pages that rely on that add-on may not work as expected. For more information on Add-ons, click the "Learn more about add-ons" help link in the Manage Add-ons dialog box.


When Internet Explorer experiences an error, Internet Explorer's Add-on Crash Detection feature analyzes whether an add-on was running at the time of the crash. If so, you will be presented with a dialog box that tells you which add-on was running. If you click Advanced, the Manage Add-ons dialog will launch. If you click Continue, you will see the standard Windows Error Reporting dialog.

Add-on Crash Detection is on by default. If you are an administrator and wish to disable Add-on Management or Add-on Crash Detection, technical details are available at Search Microsoft.com

Hope that this will answer your question:)

I don't think I explained the dilemma accurately. For some reason, my computer will not let me connect to the internet radio stations. I can view online videos fine, but cannot connect to an online radio station. I've been told it has to do with my Internet Explorer (7) settings.
