Windows Media Player problem.

Thomas:

First of all, what's playing are junk clips, for testing purposes... so,
please ignore the silly stuff.

Thanks for such a quick response.

I see a number of issues:

1. Make sure you always have a web / site open in FP prior to working on your content.

2. All content must be created in or imported into the current open FP site / web.

3. Remove all spaces and any other special characters from Folder and File names.

4. It appears that you did not import the videos into your current open site / web since the URL
points back to your local HD.

Thomas:

First of all, thanks.

It looks like I have quite a "laundry list" of things to address. Obviously
I didn't do some things as I should have. Thus, I guess, that is why it
plays on my development system and not on the other computers? Hopefully I
understand, and can follow, "exactly," what you've suggested?!

I sincerely thank you for your time, analysis and direction -- solution to
my dilemma.

Thomas:

After reviewing the steps that I originally took, I found that I made one
bad assumption, that being that FrontPage would generate the link, in that I
did "Import" the file. In fact, I had even removed Auto Start and reduced
the size of the player, etc. As a result of your comments, all I had to do
was the one thing... correct my bad assumption! Thanks...
