I am using Zone Alarm v4.5 and WMP v10. I am able to play the song
samples at walmart.com with no errors.
In Zone Alarm, I have WMP listed as OK to access Internet and Trusted
zones, but not act as a server. I don't have walmart.com listed in my
trusted zones, either in ZA or Internet Explorer.
There are lots of settings in IE (TOOLS/OPTIONS), and I'm not sure if any
of them effect the browsers ability to play streamed content, but this might
be a place to look. Sorry I couldn't be more help, but at least you'll
know that the two programs can co-exist without problems.
