WMP and IE6

[nightowl3130]

I was able to see streaming video on web pages, now when I click on a link, I
always get a prompt to download, and I have to download it before I can view
it. XP SP2 MCE2005 WMP10 IE6

Filetype/MIME settings may be incorrect. See if resetting WMP as the default player helps. (Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Set Program access and defaults)

It had to do with using creative play center for wav files. If you don't let
wmp be the default for wav files, it reverts back to downloading. Wav seems
to be the only file type affected for some reason. Thanks, Steve
