hi if you go in to the explorer bar in the view menu, if media is selected, deselect it by pressing enter on it. also like Douglas has said, in ie, under the multi media settings on the advanced page, make sure that don't display online media content in the media bar this needs to be on. hth ----- Original Message ----- From: Ray's Home To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, October 02, 2004 2:13 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Audio Links on Web Pages Douglas. I think you are on the right track with your advice to Mal. I use IE6 and SP2; I was looking for the options you mention though, and I cannot find any reference to them at all! Wonder why that is? Maybe I never installed the media bar option, and to judge by the grief its given some, I'm glad I didn't, if that's what's happened. Very puzzling to me though.

I had a similar problem a long time ago, but cannot remember exactly how I dealt with it. 1. In IE Tools menu - Internet Options - Advanced page there is an item "Do not play on line media content in the media bar" - that should be On. 2. Again in IE6, View menu - Explorer bar press Enter of Media Bar. Tab into the second panel and you should find an Options button which takes you to a menu in which one of the items is Settings. Experiment with the items concerned with playing in the media bar to see if you can stop the behaviour you don't want. Sorry that the above is a bit vague - perhaps someone else can give more precise instructions, but I suspect that is where the problem arises.

A while ago I had a window come up whilst playing some audio which would normally open up Windows Media player. The message asked me if I wanted to play the audio from within the web page or something along those lines. I stupidly said yes and since then, I don't get audio which would normally use Media Player. I hoped that upgrading to service pack 2 might solve the problem but it hasn't. Someone on this list a while ago suggested that I checked the settings in Media Player, which I did, but nothing seemed very relevant. Can anyone shed any light on this?
