Vista - Can not play embedded wmp11 videos in vista

Hi, I am unable to play embedded wmp11 videos in vista. I see the viewer on
the screen and when I click on it to enable the active x control, the menu
options appear to be in Italian! I'm not making this up. If I click the
version number it says version 6.4.09.1130. I have a feeling a game I
installed overrode one of the files and IE7 is running the older
noncompatible wmp addon.

I went into Internet Options, managed add ons and I think the file I need to
replace is audioatd.ocx. The version I have is from 8/19/04. Can anyone with
vista check their c:\windows\system32 directory to see what date they show
for their audioatd.ocx file? If you have a more recent one and you are
running Vista Home Premium can you send it to me?

The file audioatd.ocx isn't a Vista system file (Home Premium, or otherwise)
(or an XP system file, for that matter). If you go to c:\windows\system32
and check out the properties of audioatd.ocx, can you figure out what
program on you computer it belongs to? Does it have any Product name or
Copyright info on the details tab?

This is all I could find on it in Google, and the result is in Spanish...

It says Windows Media Player 2 ActiveX Control in the description. Version
6.4.9.1130. Product name Microsoft Windows Media Player.

I fixed the problem. The IE7 addon was set improperly to that audioatd.ocx
file for some reason. I performed a run regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll, restarted my
browser and it appears to be working now..

I would do this. In Manage Add-ons, disable audioatd.ocx. Then go to
C:\windows\system32, and rename audioatd.ocx to audioatd.ocx.old (the
program that installed the file will squawk that "audioatd.ocx is missing,
and cannot continue" or something like that. That way you can determine
which program installed the file. Windows, or any of the programs that came
with it, however, doesn't need that file.)

Then right-click Command Prompt (using the shortcut in Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories), choose Run as Administrator, and type:

regsvr32 wmp.dll

Press Enter. (Wmp.dll is the ActiveX control that Internet Explorer should
be using.) Then try a site that uses the embedded WMP.
