I am using Firefox latest version 1.5.0.1 and have all the media plugins already downloaded and installed in my PC, including Windows Media Player 10.  But whenever I go to watch a video that requires WMP, I am unable to view the video and instead get a message "click here to download plugin"... but I already have it!  For some reason, the browser is not recognizing that I already have the WMP plugin.  It does not do this with quicktime or real player, only WMP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to watch any media requiring WMP

Actual Results:  
Unable to view media requiring WMP

Expected Results:  
Viewing of a video using WMP

Try the following plugin: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/version64/plugin.aspx

If that doesn't work, please see the MozillaZine forums (http://forums.mozillazine.org) for assistance.
