    Default Web gurus I need some more help pretty please with a candy cane on top

    I'm batting a perfect thousand whenever I've asked for html help on SW so maybe my good luck streak will continue

    The Problem:

    Two identical types of .wmv files hosted on two differents sites. One plays for me just fine browsing with Firefox and one definitely does not! I cannot for the life of me figure out what in the heck I'm doing wrong with the second one!?! (it is hosted on my website)

    video #1 (which works fine)
    http://www.badkids.com/cbostyles/cbobaseball.wmv

    video #2 (which does NOT work fine)
    http://www.riotradio.com/evan/bringthepain.wmv

    I have tried changing the folder attributes, the file attributes, nothing works. That first video link prompts me to "open with" dialogue and everything is peachy. The second link just starts my browser window downloading an ASCII version of a 14mb video!?!?

    If I use Internet Explorer then that second link works fine. Firefox is having the issues.

    I'm stuck 'hehwp me hehwp me pweeeeeeeeeeeeez"

    Firefox is known to have some bugs when it comes to playing Windows Media files. It is possible that your drivers are not up to date with your current version of Windows Media Player. This would explain why one file plays and the other one doesn't and yet will in Microsoft product like Explorer. It is possible the two different .wmv files are encoded with different versions of software so one would play on your current player/driver for firefox and the other one won't.
