There is a WinXP Home edition PC with , SP2, MacAfee 9 which worked fine
before but after some patch (sp2?) a pop-up with ONLY a bang is shown
without caption or text. It looks like a 'you cannot click here' or a
'forbidden' (just guess).

Realaudio 8 works, but everything with the .asx extension, the pop-up shows
and no streaming works etc...

The pop-up has -nothing- to do with a firewall, or with a uPnP setting since
this popup **immediately** shows when I click, so it does not show, after a
connection try (I used TCPMON from SysInternals to be sure)...

Are there any solutions?

Txs.

(ps: I'm advanced user, developer).

Here's one possibility, Egbert:

Attachment Manager applies to IE and streaming media, too.
Click to expand...


Unfortunately, there is no way to click 'properties' for the .asx extension.
Properties should be available when a file with certain extension is sent as
attachment.
