I am using XP SP2 with WMP v10 installed, but whenever IE6 plays an embedded

into html

movie it uses WMP 6.4.09.1130, which has problems playing some wmv's. I

can't find

anywhere to set what media player IE should be using, or even find where WMP

v6 is installed on my system. Does anyone has a solution?



System is completely up to date with Win Update, and is a pretty recent

install. This problem has happened as long as I can remember. I have tried

uninstalling WMP10 and reinstalling, didn't help. This happens on all

webpages,

not just one. WMP10 is default for all these file types. If i manually type

put the link

to the video into the address bar, it opens WMP10 and plays fine.

What happens if you run:

regsvr32 wmpasf.dll

and

regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll

- does that then fix up the issue?

Presumably you installed an old software package over the top that

misregistered v6 player components.  I've got some code around that tries to

avoid that/fix that up where possible, but presumably you found an old

install package that bypassed that prevention code.
