Message Error 800C0008

You need to provide a bit more detail if you want someone to help you such
as what you are doing or trying to do when you see this error.

What follows is from Zach's WMP MiniFAQ
(http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html) (Zach is a member of the team
that wrote WMP):
Note that one case where this will happen (or you'll get error 0xc00d1199
or 0x800c0008 instead) is where you're trying to access WMV or ASF content
on the Internet and you have Internet Explorer's Media Bar turned on.
Unfortunately, IE has their own player for the Media Bar, so you'd need to
either bug IE product support to fix this, or you'd need to turn the Media
Bar off (which would be my suggestion regardless). To disable IE6's Media
Bar from taking playback, click the Media button (on the IE Toolbar). Then
click Media Options in that new pane, then Settings, and then uncheck
"Play web media in the bar".

Customized authentication dialogs will also cause error 0x800c0008, since
WMP can't show 'em, and IE can't hand off the credential to WMP. In
general if you're getting error 0x800c0008, save the file to disk first
and then play it back.
