I fixed the problem. The file opened with my Nero software and not media
when I saved it. Went back under options and set it to open as a media
player file. It seems to work. Thanks to all!!

Windows version? Running IE7 Beta2, by any chance? Can you open the
WMV file if you first save it to your hard-drive?

I receive a message that says to " Create an association in folders
Options control panel." The folder it is evidently looking for is
C:\Documents and Settings\ My Place\Local settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content IE5\2B...

The Documents and Setting folder contains My Place folder and that's
it. The Temporary Internet folder is under Windows with IE5, but
thats it. The associated file reference to open was a Nero software
product and not msMedia. I changed the open with reference to the
msMedia Program file but that didn't do it. Which file do I need it
to reference? Any help to what is going on?

I should note that I lost my email connection using the Icon in
Internet Explorer. I now access Email from the Windows file.
