MEDIA BAR HELP, AGAIN

[Doug]

I will have to keep asking this until someone can find a
solution because no one has answered either time I have
posted it yet.

I cannot find my Media Bar settings in IE6 on XP, SP2. I
look under View, Explorer Bar and there is nothing to do
with Media listed. Where can I turn this back on?? It
seems to have disappeared. As a result, it seems I cannot
play videos in sites where a media player comes up.

Thanks

The media bar is dependant on Window Media Player. Try reinstalling WMP:

I did that already. Everything is the same.

Have you checked the "Multimedia" section in the Advanced Tab on
Internet Options?

 

[Doug]

Yes, all boxes are checked except the one to show image
placeholders.

.I have the same problem. I ran across a post from a mvp

on the IE6 home page who wrote SP2 will remove the Media
Bar as a matter of course. No indication how to re-
install it though.
