I just swept my drive as I had a virus on there that continued to show up daily during anti-virus sweep.....got operating system reloaded (windows 2000....yeah, I know it's old)

Trying to open videos at my email sites, windows media player comes up, but player remains black and will not play link

However, if I choose to download that link to my desktop, then minimize the email site, and click on the link on the desktop, then windows media player plays the link just fine.....

Is there a setting in Control Panel----> Internet Options ......or such, that is blocking the ability to open media directly while at my email site?

I could open attachments before while at my email so I know some box or something needs to be checkmarked to allow this now.....some security setting?

Thank you for your help.....!!!
