Hmm. I've read that IE7 sometimes causes problems with Windows Media Player 10. I'm not up on how to fix those issues. Hopefully someone else will be able to help you out. I take it that you didn't have the problem with IE6?

Do you know what file type the videos are that aren't working? If not, perhaps you could enter in the addresses to a couple of the sites in question, to see if anyone else is experiencing the problem or could identify the file type. It might be that the player is working fine with some file types but not with others.
