wmv file will not play in IE8??? PLEASE HELP

[thunder778]

I just did a new layout for the website. Before the wmv file on the home page played flawlessly in both IE and Chrome. Now with the new layout. I copyed the embed code from the old site to the new site and it plays in chrome but not IE8. I have tried on more then on pc and it will not load. I get an error in error detals that reads " The source filter for this file could not be loaded."

Here is the new layout http://www.sdowell.hostzi.com/index.html
Here is the old layout http://www.sdowell.hostzi.com/New Folder/index.html

There's a problem with your path to the video file. You are using one path in the <object> and a different one in the <embed>.
From the one that doesn not work:
<param name="Daniel_0002.wmv" value="Images/Daniel_0002.wmv" />
and
embed src="New Folder/Images/Daniel_0002.wmv"....
From the one that does work:
<param name="Filename" value="Images/Daniel_0002.wmv">
and
<embed src="Images/Daniel_0002.wmv"....
Correct the pathing and the param name="Daniel_0002.wmv... this should be "Filename". It's best not to use a space in the folder name, an underscore between the words would be better (new_folder).

OK done.. but i still have the same problem

You still have a pathing problem:
The one that works:
http://www.sdowell.hostzi.com/New%20Folder/index.html
see the "New%20Folder" part?
The one that doesn't work:
http://www.sdowell.hostzi.com/index.html
Because you are using two different addresses, the path from the html page to the .wmv is different. Use the correct path FROM THE HTML PAGE in your code to the .wmv, which may or may not be in your New Folder.
But anyway, the problem is that the path to the video file is not correct.
Good luck,

If that is the problem then why would it work in chrome and not IE? And why am i getting that wierd "cant load filter" error message?

Thanks for the help.
