Adding Windows Media Played to FP 2003 Web site

[Neal]

I am trying to add Windows Media content to my web site using Front Page
2003. I seem to recall that in FP 2002 this was easily done by adding a
control for the Windows Media Player, but this apparently has been removed
and when I tried to add the player for FP 2002 I was told that this could not
be done because I did not have an Office 2000 family product installed (I am
using Office 2003). How can I add WMP content to my web site using FP 2003?

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for your reply, however it brings up a new question. I downloaded the
add in, and successfully installed it. As predicted there is now a "Windows
Media Player" add in on my Insert Menu. However I can't seem to make this
work. This is what happens:

1. Open page to add in player
2. Set insertion point where I want the player
3. Select Insert/Windows Media Player
4. A box opens up with no description for the WMP add in
5. The opeions are simply OK, Cancel and Help
6. At the insertion point I see "Windows Media Player Add In" on the page
7. When I click on the OK button this line disappears and there is no player

How is this supposed to work?

Thanks Again in Advance,

Somehow you have a corrupt install or you need to update your WMP to at least WMP 9
- make sure you uninstalled the older version of the addin (or disabled it in Tools Addins)
Then in control panel add remove program for the new addin select the support link for the new WMP and try the repair option (or
uninstall the new version and run a Help - Detect and Repair in FP)
Then reinstall the new addin
