Hi,
The file:// protocol is telling IE to load the file directly from the hard
disk - it's not going through IIS. I think this is where your problem lies.
Since you are going directly to the file system, and bypassing IIS, IIS is
not involved with serving the MPG, so this isn't an IIS issue (maybe an IE
issue, but this isn't an IE newsgroup, and I don't thnk we're experts in
changes in SP2 and IE).
What I suggest you do is move the .MPG file into your webroot. and then
create a link like so:
<a href="help.mpg">click here</a> (assuming the mpg file is in the same
folder as your webpage)
That will server the mpg file via IIS, and that should work just fine.
Cheers
Ken
