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.

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

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!!

See the Identifying Attachment File Types and Setting File Associations
section of

In the case OE6 with SP2, you need an OPEN action in the file
associations to open the file from within OE. Typically WMV files have
PLAY as the default action. That;s not enough to make OE happy. If
there is no OPEN action, add one with same settings as the default
action.

In the case of my system with Windows Media Play 10, that is:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:7 /Open
"%L"
