   Can't view WMV files that come as attach   
   25 Nov 06 08:51:40   
   
   From: raykosXXX@optonline.net   
      
   Double-clicking on the attached file results in the following message:   
      
   "The selected file has a scheme that is not recognized by Windows Media   
   Player, but the Player may still be able to play it. Because the   
   extension is unknown by the Player, you should be sure the file comes   
   from a trustworthy source.   
      
   "Do you want the player to try to play the file?"   
      
   If I click Yes, this message appears: "Windows Media Player cannot play   
   the file because the specified protocol is not supported."   
      
   The odd thing is that if I save the attachment to the hard drive, using   
   the same file name, and then double-click on the file, it plays perfectly.   
      
   WMP9.00.00.2980. In Tools/Options/File Types, the WMV and WMA boxes are   
   checked.   
      
   W2K. Netscape 7.2.   
      
   Thanks for your help.
