Outllok 2007 and Windows Media Player Hyperlinks

P

PeterP

We're about to roll-out Office 2007, but noticed a problem with hyperlinks
pointing to windows media files held on our server share.

We are running Windows XP, Office 2007 and Media Player 11. When you click
on the link, Windows Media Player loads but hangs trying to load the .wmv
file. Nothing shows as not responding but you have to dump Media Player from
Task Manager. The files load OK when opened direct from the share.

We decided to re-image our computer but with MediaPlayer 10 instead. When
you first run outlook it loads the first hyperlink and plays the Movie Ok. If
you close MediaPlayer and click another media player links it does not
respond, nothing happens. You have to close Outlook 2007 and start up again
for the link to work the first time.

We have tried a number of machines and previous image builds, from testing
it seems to point to an Outlook 2007 problem.

Any help appreciated.
