Thanks for your reply, but I've already tried that and it
din't work (I've even tried putting a site in the safe
zone and enabled all options there, and it still didn't
work). I think it might have to do with the fact that I
use a different program for video files instead of WMP. I
tried to change it back, though, and the problem persisted
(although I didn't try rebooting). Isn't there perhaps
some registry setting to circumvent this behaviour?
Tnx, DB
PS; that language is Dutch, not German... I hate it when
people call Dutch German :p
PPS; I won't change browser btw, sorry ;)
