Unchecking "Work Offline" in Internet Explorer worked for me- thanks so much!

First time I've opened IE in years... WTF

I had the same problem but had IE7. In IE7, Work offline was selected. I cleared this selection and then Media Monkey worked!

Hi Everyone,

I just want to share what solved this issue for me. WARNING!!! BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!!!

The causes and solution are explained in http://www.kintek.com.au/web-design-blo ... ininetdll/, and I copied and pasted the main solution steps (only steps 2 and 3 are needed):
Step 2)
To be sure, to be sure, I ran a command line ownership from my Administrator Level Command Prompt (Right-click cmd.exe, "Run As Administrator").
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2204/vis ... stem_file/

takeown /f c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll

Step 3)
I then downloaded a nifty application called Replacer:
http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/
Once running, I typed:
At the first prompt:
“C:\windows\system32\wininet.dll” <- this is my current version which must die
At the second prompt:
“C:\wininet.dll” <- this is the version I copied from my Win7 Build 7000 Beta box.
Hope this solves the issue for the rest of us.

I deleted all the podcasts in MM, deleted the files off my PC, and added everything again and it seems to be working!! :D Maybe I killed it when I installed the update recently?? I'll post again if I find any more podcasting issues.

http://freetalklive.com/netcast.xml for example.

I'm using this same URL (copy/pasted) in Juice and it's downloading fine. I'm using Juice to get my podcasts until I can get MM working again.

Here's some info on my machine:
MediaMonkey 3.1.1.1261
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 2
Internet Explorer 7.0.6002.18005
Windows Firewall (no other firewall software)
AVG Anti-Virus Free
Spybot - Search & Destroy

What I've tried:
Downgrading IE8 to IE7
Registering wininet.dll
Checked my Windows 'hosts' file
Adding a program exception for MediaMonkey through Windows Firewall
Disabling Windows Firewall
Restarting heaps etc.

Still no dice. I don't see an error, but when I click to update a podcast I see a progress-bar appear in the status area and instantly disappear (I imagine this is the usual podcast download status). I'm not sure if there is an error log anywhere? Can someone please tell me if an error log exists and how to access it, and I'll post those details here too.
Maybe its just the podcasts. what are the URLs?

Still getting this error in version 3.1.1.1261

Tried IE8 on lowest security settings with no luck, and I don't want to uninstall IE8 just for other buggy software. Has this been confirmed as a MM issue??

Btw, iPhone 3G 3.0 is working again in this build which is awesome because MM was my iTunes replacement for that, I don't want to uninstall because of this podcast issue (I have paid for Gold membership, so I'm not just being ungrateful).

ZoneAlarm blocking IE access will result in this error within media monkey.

Newest version of Winamp has better podcast support, which was the best selling feature for Media Monkey for me.
The last 5 posts talk about how this was fixed in MM 3.1.

Newbie error; I didn't go to the end of the posts. I installed build 1247 and that fixed it. Looking forward to the GA release.

There is another post that says this is fixed in 3.1. Is there an ETA for 3.1?
