Re: WMP will not play TIFs

It seems to be .mps files that get saved and will not load.

Yup, much clearer.

What specific URLs produce this result on your system? This will then lead
to the next question(s). =)

Maybe I am describing the problem incorrectly.

On a given web site there are many short videos. Sometimes when I click on
a
particular video - WMP will come up, load the file, and play it.

In other instances - a dialogue box comes up saying that it is saving the
selected video to a temporary internet file. When the save is complete,
WMP
comes up but the video is never loaded into the playlist file. If I go
into
my temporary internet files and locate the video I just downloaded - still
will not play. I cannot drag it into the playlist of WMP nor click on it
to
try to get it to play.

What I want to have happen is to have WMP come up whenever I click on a
video file and play it immediately. I don't want the file to be saved to
my
temporary internet file. Why does it happen sometimes and not other times?

Is that any clearer?

the video never loads or plays.

If I go to the temporary internet files, locate the video and then try
to
drag it to WMP to play it wont let me.

How do I get WMP to play all the files immediately without saving them
as
a
TIF?
