Internet Explorer thinks that Quacktime is your default player, at least for
..mp3 files. Go into Quacktime options and disassociate file type .mp3. Go
into Windows Media Player and reassociate file type .mp3.

Look at whatever other options Quacktime has, look at Quacktime help.

[[If you install other multimedia playback programs on your computer, they

I do not have Quacktime.
