embedded MP3s won't play in IE

[maglinders]

Think it must be corruption of IE as RPlayer works when used direct on other things, and files on the site play ok via ftp.

RP does launch & play e.g. multimedia at www.deutschegrammophon/

Any ideas please?

XP with IE etc. preloaded when I bought the pc (kosher, big retail store etc., H-P Pavilion) so have no XP CD. Any ideas for online help to repair IE (if that's the answer) without the CD?

Thanks.

HI

i learnt that microsoft just recently began blocking mp3's through messenger as they think it is a potentially unsafe file type. It is possible they think it is a serious thgreat and have decided to block it in internet explorer. one test is to get firefox
www.mozilla.org

see if your page works there.

you should try a test by lowering your security settings in the tools/internet options

to see if you can get it to work.

very strange

someone here will be able to help you more

Resolved. It wasn't me at all - it was the web host's firewall settings - too sensitive.

GRRRRRRRR.

Thanks, all.
