Figured this is where the experts are...

I have this old player code that has always worked. Pasted it in source and go to preview, and it works fine. Go to edit and OE eats the params. Go back to preview and the control is dead. What's up with that? Had to just put a link in the message, bummer... Any clues greatly appreciated.

If you installed Windows Media Player 9, then this normal.  To fix it you will need to download and run Bill Scott's Registry Fixer.

Far Out!!! You Guys are the greatest. Wish the rest of the groups were like y'all. Had a suspicion had something to do with that.

As for the fix (both of them), how is it for backward compatability? I have no control over the OE version of the recipient and neither do they (internet cafe). I would assume, however, they have at least 5+ available.

Got to go now, this place is too addicting for me... :)

Thanks
Terry

Ouch... Just read the ReadMe. What a pain!!! Spin my melon, why doncha MS. Ok, to rephrase my previous question. What choices would give me the broadest compatability? For the most part, I will be streaming not embedding, and it will be going to a hotmail account.

Thanks,
Terry
