Thread: Why can't I view wmv files on web pages?

Using Media Player 10, I can view mpeg's and everything else, or .wmv files when they're sent to me. But I can't view them if they're embedded in a web page. It says opening media, but the page freezes and so does Media Player.

This is the same whether I use IE or Mozilla.

Why is this and what do I need to do?

I have QuickTime, Realplayer, Image Mixer VCD2, etc., but there are sites, where I need to view them in Windows Media Player.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Not sure why, mine does. Thank goodness because loads of porn is in that format. Just joking.........or am I.
