Default Windows Media 10 not launching for movies

Using IE ver 6 and everytime a select a link Windows Media 10 is not
launching. There are no errors, it just shows a small box, it has the
player buttons (play, stop, pause, rr, ff etc) but the video does not
come up. I am able to play movies that are stored in my harddrive.
WMP also plays music fine. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling
WMP(hope i did it correctly)

Any suggestions?

Do the buttons look correct?
Did you just recently install the player... ?

thanx for responding.
The normal WMP does not come up, a small box(4 X 5) comes up, it has
the buttons and volume control. When you select any of the buttons, it
does not respond. Yes I uninstalled and reinstalled.
