Internet Explorer will not open Windows Media Player -sealio

If you have not fixed your problem yet here is the solution, I too had the same problem.

In Internet Explorer 7
1. Select Tools
2. Select Internet Options
3. Select Programs
4. Select Set Programs in the bottom right
5. In the next window that opens up select Set program access and computer defaults
6. In this window select Microsoft Windows and Ok or expand the Custom and select Windows Media Player
7. Click Ok.

Note this usually happens when you download and install another media viewer such as DivX or VTC viewer.

Shorter route with Vista is

1. Click on Start
2. Click on Default Programs
3. In the next window that opens up select Set program access and computer defaults
6. In this window select Microsoft Windows and Ok or expand the Custom and select Windows Media Player
7. Click Ok.

If all of this does not work try turning off your popup blocker(s)
