KDOV is compatible with both Windows Media Player version 9 and 10 and Real Player version 10.

If you are experiencing any problems with accessing the theDove Live Stream or archives after downloading the latest player, Click Here for the Windows Media Player Support Center or read the "Troubleshooting" info at the bottom of this page.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, do you have the security setting at "Medium" or lower? Our audio streams do not work on systems set to high security. If you need to change your security settings, restart your computer completely before trying again.
If you memory or cache file folders are full you may experience audio streaming errors, try emptying your Temporary Internet files, and any addition files, such as the contents of the recycling bin.
If you are listening in an office, is there a firewall, proxy server, in place that blocks audio streams? Go to Microsoft's general help page. Look for the firewall and proxy server information.
A more extensive resource is available at the Windows Media Player Support Center. (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;wmp)
Many Macintosh users find that they prefer Real Player and this player supports the Windows Streaming Media format. Specific instructions for Real Player are here.
Alternatively, Mac users may choose the Windows Media Player for Macs. Apple does not include a Windows Media Player on their computers, and therefore to experience the sounds and sights of theDove, you'll need to download a free Windows Media Player from Microsoft.
It's possible that Mac users can experience problems after installing Windows Media Player.
a. If you have Mac OS 9.1 or earlier installed in your Classic environment, install Mac OS 9.2 or later in your Classic environment.
b. Delete all Classic versions of Windows Media Player from all Classic environments on your computer.
