Unable To play Media Files Without Downloading Them First

When on the internet I have found that I have to download the media file to
my desktop to get it to play with WMP 11. I am running Vista Ultimate. When
I click on the media I get the page "Internet Explorer is unable to access
this website" blah blah blah. I have enable files to be played with WMP in
Settings and in Default Programs Settings in Control Panel.
I can only play the file if I downlaod it first. Why? Is there a fix? I see
other users have a problem with this too.
I dont want this thread to be full of arguments about Linux like a previous
post. If you cant be a help please dont reply. I have no time to read through
nonsense, I just want a fix to this problem.

In Internet Explorer, Menu (ALT key if not visible) > Tools > Manage Add-ons >
Enable or Disable Add-ons > "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer"
in the Show drop down list > click on Publisher heading to sort alphabetically >
are wmp.dll and wmpdxm.dll installed and enabled?

You know there is a security setting in IE7 that will not allow a media file
to play unless it uses in an external player.
I believe that would mean you have to download the file instead of stream
it.
Poke around in Security>custom settings.

Often Windows can be fixed just by unchecking a function. Exiting and
rebooting - go
back and recheck same functions- exit again.
