I've been having issues this morning and I may just put my head through a wall.

Sirius changed the online media player to some UVU thing that I can't run because my Java version is too old and I can't update it because I don't have administrative "priviledges" here at work to install the 1.5 version.

I see talk of "widgets" n such so I look into downloading the widget engine and sirius widget but the engine doesn't seem to be downloading properly either. I don't have an option to "finish" the download. I only have an option to close the window when it's done with the download, and although I have the "launch yahoo widget engine" box checked... nothing happens. I look for it to run it manually but the only thing in it's folder is a word document for the license agreement. I've tried downloading it three times already and i get the same result everytime.

I sent in an email to yahoo about it but I figured i might get laughed at and ridiculed here much faster. Or if anyone here can actually help a brutha out so he could get his Howard fix at work that would be much appreciated.

ok well someone mentioned there's still a link to the old player... just in time for the end of the wrap up show. :mad:

Where is the link to the old player?

go to sirius.com, and when the banner ad for howard comes up, click on it and the old player should come right up for you. i dunno how long it will be linked there so in the meantime i'm tryin to get the new player workin...

I just went to Sirius.com . Click listen live at the top of the screen and the old player pops up. I think they will keep that, since you still listen to all of the music channels from that link.

Download the widget - works awesome, and you don't need to enter your password & those other codes

I'm having the same problem. I can't listen to howard on Sirius because I don't have the newest Java and I don't have admin right either. I can't figure out why the widget is not working I install it and it never launches. What am I doing wrong?

I had this problem too

Download the neest version, but when the windo pops up to select 'run' save' or cancel - select 'save' - if you select 'run' for some reason it won't work - click save', then you should be good to go.

Ever since I upgraded to the newest version of the widget tuner I get this message scrolling at the bottom which says "unknown error has occurred.. try to relaunch" nothing I do seems to help.. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how to fix it?

hook, your not going to be able to install anything on your office computer. My company is like yours- total lock down!. Best that you might be able to do is to save the program to a flash drive and try to run it off of that. Probably still won't work. What I do is bring my radio into the office where I have a second antenna, power cord and computer speakers. It does not connect to the office network so everyone is cool with it.
