help with Windows media player

Lost in history...
I need to listen to a repeat of a show from online radio from here 'http://www.whatson.com/kiss/logansama' and i can't get it to work, and i tried using Windows Media Player to access it though here 'http://www.whatson.com/players/kiss/metafiles/a_logan_sama.asx', but it says 'The source filter for this file could not be loaded' and i really don't know what to do.

Windows Media Player Error Centre said:
80040241: Cannot perform the requested action
Windows Media Player cannot perform the requested action. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

You tried to play a .dvr-ms file (such as a file created by the Personal Video Recorder (PVR) in Windows XP Media Center Edition), and your computer is not configured to play this type of file.
To resolve the problem, see the Microsoft Download Center.

You tried to play a file type that is not supported by Windows Media Player. For a list of file types (formats) that are supported by Windows Media Player, see Supported file types.
Error ID = 0x80040241, Condition ID = 0x00000000
Web Help
I tried to re-install Windows Media Player, but nothing changed, are cookies involved, a setting that needs to be changed, or what?

Please help me! Thanks, as i have until Monday, or it's replaced and gone forever... :(

But I can think of two possibilities: 1. You didn't tell WMP to associate itself with .asx files or 2. networking problems won't let you play it.
So how do i tell it to associate with these files?

Go (WMP10) Tools, Options, File Types, then click on the top one if it's unchecked. If it is checked, which it should be, then you have a problem. If not, check it and click APPLY.
