IE 7 will not play videos WMP not opening

[Guest Wlrjanchak]

If you are having any problems opening video links in Internet Explorer 7

such as Windows Media Player will not open when you click a video link. Also

if you think Nero 7 might be at fault for this problem. There is a very easy

fix and you don't need to uninstall anything just change a simple setting and

you should not have any more problems. So close Internet Explorer and go to

Control Panel and open Default Programs. Then click on Set Program Access and

Computer Defaults then click Continue. Now click the dot in Custom and click

the down arrows next to Custom. Now choose Internet Explorer as your default

web browser and then scroll down to default media player and you guessed it

choose Windows Media Player as your defualt media player. Then click OK. You

should now be able to open video links in Internet Explorer and Windows Media

Player as usual. Now if you happen to go back into default programs and set

program access you will see that everything looks as though it is back where

it was and your settings have been canceled but they have not been canceled.

You will still be able to open videos. For some reason the settings look like

they were never changed but they are changed until you physically change them

again. If you still can not open videos in Internet Explorer you may have

other software that is conflicting with IE 7 and you should contact the maker

of that particular software. Hope that helps. I looked on here for days and

no one could give me this simple change of settings answer for this question

of videos not playing so I hope this was easy for you to find.
