Windows Media Player 10 won't load in web pages

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I recently had to reinstall windows xp professional. After doing so WMP 10
works fine on its own, but if I visit a web page that has WMP embedded in it
to watch streaming videos ot won't load. All I see are the action buttons at
the top of the screen where the player should be, it looks partially loaded.
This happens in both firefox and explorer. I am completely up to date with
windows update, I am afrais I may have changed a setting somewhere, I just
don'y know where. Any help would be great

It worked fine before on the same web sites, yahoo.com, also I can see the
play button, stop, etc, but they won't do anything. What setting should I
check. I have already reinstalled WMP 10, but no luck.
