No one answered the last request for help so I'll reword it:
I have three comps running XP pro and Seamonkey 2.0.11. Two of the three
work perfectly as in when an attached movie clip (.wmv or similar) is
clicked the proper video player plays the clip. By attached, I mean
attached to an email. But on one comp Seamonkey just opens a new browser
window and then does nothing?
I have gone through all the suggestions in Seamonkey's help but still
have not resolved this.
Any suggestions as to what I might look for or what steps I might try?
Thanks,
John
On the problem SM, is remote image enabled?

Yes. The real problem as far as I can tell is in 'Helper Applications'.
Unlike the other two comps it doesn't list .wmv, .avi etc. file types
individually but just has one general listing titled something like
'media files (.avi, .wmv. etc)'. Frankly I can't get it to display
anything using different media players including VLC and Windows Media
player unless the file is saved first. From there you can just double
click it and the proper media player for the given file type plays it
--but-- as far as I can tell its out of Seamonkey's hands at that point
and under control of Windows Explorer.
Perhaps direct edits to the 'prefs.js' file would fix the problem but
I'm not a Java programmer so I'm loathe to mess with it.
The offending comp happens to be my wife's laptop and she is a bit
disappointed with me for not fixing it, seeing as the other two comps
are mine and work just fine :={
By the way, a word of warning here. Do *NOT* get 'Playitall media
player'. It works fine for a while and then goes belly up. Its
uninstaller totally hosed Windows by changing file associations (.exe's
were changed to .lnk's !!!). I had to go command line and restore to get
the comp to even function. This was on a different comp, by the way, not
the one I am having a problem with. I still have a problem on the
Playitall comp in Windows Explorer where clicking on a folder in
Explorer's *right* view pane brings up an error message rather than
opening the folder.

In "Helper Applications" you should have several choices to play the
file type; one selection should be to "Play in SeaMonkey".
Open Helper Applications and click once on a file type and look for a
selection box. Click the selection box once to read a list of possible
choices, select the one to allow SeaMonkey to play that file.
