My vista labtop wont stream video, does anyone have a soultion

[EJ25RUN]

Im been trying to get this to work for about a month but still cant get it to work.

I think the problem is WMP

For one this link

http://radiolemans.com/ if you go to listen live, it just says

1. Connecting
2. Ready

and when i click play, it just keeps saying ready.

This only happens on my Vista laptop, everything is fine on all my xp computers.

Here is another link that wont work.

mms://livestream.eurosport.com/nogeo/75213.wsx

this is what it says....

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:").

Is there a way to open these with VLC or a way to turn WMP off completely?

Thanx in advanced.

Please explain what a "labtop" is, I'm pretty sure no one knows what that is.
