IE7/WMP11 online media play problem *SOLVED*

[neljan]

Hi everyone,

Can someone with IE7 please visit this link:

And tell me if they are able to play one of the songs I have uploaded?

For some reason, either my browser of WMP settings are preventing me from playing them. I am able to download them (right click save) so I know the links are fine.

Can anyone tell me how I can get my WMP to pop-up & play them online in the way god intended?

Thanks for any advice...

This is seriously getting to me... 

I actually noticed a while back that WMP was taking over my browser, whereby I would click on an MP3 link & WMP would take up the existing webpage, I would have to navigate back with the browser just to close WMP.

I used to be able to click on a link to a media file such as an MP3 & WMP would open seperately (not in the IE browser window) & play the file.

What's happening now, is a new IE window/tab will open with the 'Internet Explorer cannot display this page' message, it's like IE has intergrated with WMP as my default media player!

I've searched through all WMP help files, WMP settings, IE settings, Real Player settings... nothing.

Please help, I don't want to reinstall WMP as all my file association settings/icons/context menu entries get 'defaulted' & it's just a big hassle...

I don't want to change my browser either so please don't recommend it, that's not a solution.

Thanks for any help

lol, I know mate, thanks, but I'd like to get them working for me!

So when you open the link did WMP open up seperately?

When I go there with IE7, and click on download link, a pop-up asks me, if I want to open it with QuickTime, or save.

[neljan]

Must be something to do with Quicktime being your default player for that type of file perhaps?

[Broni]

Most likely.

I'll give it another 24hrs, see if anyone has any ideas, then reinstall...

 

[neljan]

It was to do with me removing the 'open' command in the association for WMA files on my computer.

I removed 'open' because I didn't see an 'open' entry in the context menu & had 'play' instead.

Open must be a default necessary hidden entry or something 

If anyone experiences similar problems, just restore the default settings for the association of your media files making sure there is an open command (even if you can't see it in the context menu).
