whenver I play an asx file with in a webpage ( i hope you know what I mean , is those embedded player found in sites like ifilm.com)
wm6.4 will load up and after a while , a gray screen will appears with sound
http://marketing.tvb.com/sitecommon...ic/jsg/live/video/e20020327_video9_4929_b.asx

however , i went to the ms media showcase site and that asx files work for me ( it opens up wmplayer 8 instead )

Therefore right now I have 2 problems, first those web video doesnt work and secondly, why does wm 6.4 always appear, even if I have already set the default program to open asx files as wmplyaer 8)


I am using windows xp and with the codecs package installed

.asx files are weird sometimes. I had one that would not play until I changed the extension to .asf.
