Board index » Internet Explorer » IE7 and media player problems

Internet Explorer44
I have IE7 and Vista x64 installed. Everytime I visit a webpage containing

movies, they will not play. I simply get a "page cannot be displayed" error

when clicking the movie links. Other browsers like Firefox and Opera will

work for these same sites; i click the links, and windows media player 11

opens and plays the movies. IE7 will not play them. I tried resetting back

the defaults and still the same thing happens. Any help would be appreciated.

someone previously posted a working solution:



Click Start and go to Default Programs

Then, select Set Program Access and Computer Default

Click Continue

Then choose a configuration - select Custom (click the double arrow beside

Custom). Scroll down the list and under choose a default media player, select

Windows Media Player.

Then click OK.
