Does it work if you use Internet Explorer?

I have the same problem with IE6. I can play video using RealPlayer but not
WMP10 (e.g., www.cbsnews.com; www.ifilm.com, etc.)

I also reinstalled WinXP SP2 a couple of times but to no avail. I suspect
there's some registry value within IE that's prohibiting WMP from playing
streaming videos within a browser.

Any ideas as how to fix this problem?
