Hi,

I'm posting this here as per JHolland's direction, so, here we go:

I have Windows XP Professional w/SP 2. I was trying out Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 Beta and it wasn't working. I also had CCleaner, which may be related to the start of my problem but that info could be false...

I tried to roll back to WMP 10. Then WMP wouldn't acknowledge my old trusty Samsung CD-RW burner. So I ditched CCleaner and I downloaded WMP 10 and installed it. WMP still wont recognize my CD-RW. I've played around with a variety of things but cannot figure out what will make it work again.

Please advise! Thank you!!!!!

So what does this have to do with configuring your adapter for use with ViaTalk? WMP is nice for what it does, but I wouldn't exactly call WMP a VoIP application...

I don't know, but I also have not been able to get my SPA-1001 to recognize my CD burner under WMP 11 either... ;)

I know you were joking (and it was funny, btw).

But believe it or not, I think your example (of getting your SPA-1001 to interface to WMP, and from there to your CD burner) really is possible to do. You would first have to install proper VoIP interface software, and then be creative with how you configure that software. But I think it is possible (with "off the shelf software") to convert (in "real time") the SIP protocol (that your VoIP adapter uses) into something that WMP can directly handle (thereby allowing you to use WMP to help your SPA-1001 access your CD burner). :D

In fact (ironically enough), the name of the needed VoIP software is mentioned in this forum's title/description. i.e.

Well, anything is possible, if you put enough effort into it. Web cameras you direct over the 'net. Entire homes that can be controlled over the telephone. Satellites that can be directed to move to certain areas of the globe, and take high resolution photographs.

All seemed so far flung when Popular Science suggested it 20-30 years ago...
