What does it mean when this message appers after you have clicked on a link from a website to watch a video=
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").
This happens often when I try to play videos from websites. What can I do abou this issue?

It means that whatever you are trying to play is in a format (protocol) that Windows Media Player can not play. If it is something like a flash, real player or appletime video, then WMP can not use it. You would have to get the correct player for the file.
