Media Player Display(ed)
I am having an issue with the Media Player. I have only V10 installed on
this machine, but when I go to this www site and run a audio file (which uses the media player) it displayed the OLD media player, the one with the grey control bar (at the bottom). I can go there with another computer and it will display the NEW media player (blue controls at the bottom). I thought it might have something to do with the Add-ins in IE so I disabled one at a time to see if it made a difference. When one of the two Media Player add-ins is disabled it doesn't play at all. How is it that I get the old player when it is NOT installed on this machine. We have contacted the webmaster and it says it displayed from what is loaded on MY PC.. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks. ...Chip.. |

Right-click on the player interface, choose OPTIONS|FILE TYPES tab, and checkmark the file type you want WMP10 to play. Click OK. In the old media player you can do the same - in reverse, if necessary. -- For most XP answers and tweaks... http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://dougknox.com http://aumha.org http://support.microsoft.com http://www.winhelponline.com/ |

I checked that options page and everything is checked EXCEPT the DVD Video
and AIFF audio File. You did understand that I do NOT have the old media player on this computer, or if I do I can't find it to get to the options? It's not listed in programs, Add-remove programs or when I do a RMB on a video file to 'play with'. Thanks for the suggestion. ...Chip..

Upon further investigation I DID find the OLD player player2. It's not
installed just sitting in the same folder as the v10 files. I did check and there are NO file types checked in that player while ALL the file types as checked in v10. Also I checked the associations in 'file types' and everything media is set to play in v10. Weird one machine does it correctly, while one does not. I loaded Firefox and went that site and it plays that same clip in QuickTime! Thanks again. ...Chip.. "dev" wrote in message ... /Charles Shapiro/ said: I am having an issue with the Media Player.
