WMP Add in troubles

[Guest]

I installed the WMP add in and I've been trying many ways to get it to play a
video and it has not yet worked. I'm using mpg videos, but I've also tried
converting to wmv, but the result is still the same: When I navigate to the
page the media player appears with nothing but a black screen and grayed out
buttons.
Any help?

Also, is there a way to set it to play the videos at a larger size?

Thanks

Have you clicked on the control area to activate the player? IE has been
changed due to a patent suit and now all items that are embedded must be
clicked on before they can be active.

Playing with the Stretch to Fit setting of the component should do the
trick. I find toying with it can get it to render more like the actual size.

Hope this helps,

Oh and almost forgot, make sure you are viewing it through a web server and
not just the file system in order for it to work.
