Hi,

There seems to be an issue develop, possibly a security feature but these
type of links dont work anymore in vista they still work in XP's IE7
though.. The link is suppose to open WMP but does a normal page cannot be
displayed 403 forbidden. any reason why this is happening now?

thanks

It works here.
Do you have Norton or McAfee installed what happens if you uninstall them?

Frank,

No haven't got any firewall like Norton or Mcafee only AVG tried to shutdown
that but no change

Do you think its IE7 or WMP?

how do you reset WMP back to when its just been installed?

thanks
John

I really don't know. I just once every month or two click such a link and
they almost always work. I'm afraid I don't try to investigate when they
don't because it's never anything I care about.

Do you have any third party media players like QuickTime installed? I know
that can cause some strange problems.
