Help! Embedded Windows Media Player opens externally!

We use a lot of pages with Win Media Player embedded to show streamed
wmv files. On Mac OS9 they used to work fine. But now when I open them
in IE 5.2, Mac OSX with WMP 9, Win Media Player opens externally as
well as inside the page, so we have two players showing the stream.

This doesn't happen when I view the page in Safari. Can some clever
person shed any light on this? I notice other people have had the same
problem, but nobody's mentioned the solution!

Is there some change I could make to our embed code that would stop
this? Code below.. I've taken out the stream path.


Thanks
Gareth

I found a to sort of cure this, which was briefly mentioned on
somebody else's thread.. but it has to be done on each client machine.

- Go to Internet Explorer preferences and find Protocol Helpers.
- Click the Add button below the Protocol Helper Settings pane.
- In the next dialogue box, enter "mms" in the "Helper for" field.
- Click the Choose Helper button and browse to the location of
Internet Explorer in your Applications window.
- Click OK to exit.
