Hurray, it works now!

Your comments got me thinking so I went to the two web sites and viewed
their source code. Turns out the site which works calls for a specific
application type:

working: video/x-ms-wmv
non-working: application/x-mplayer2

Looked in the registry and found the non-working application type did not
have a CLSID key. Found the CLSID to use, adjusted the registry (added the
key) and bingo, it works now. How wonderful!

Thanks for your help :-)

You're welcome.

That non working application type "application/x-mplayer2" should have been
pointing to CLSID "CD3AFA8F-B84F-48F0-9393-7EDC34128127"

"VIDEO__X_MS_ASF Moniker Class"

InprocServer32 = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmp.dll"

Glad you got it sorted out.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell
