trouble playing wmv

[lisurfer]

I embed a wmv file on my site, the problem is that windows media player opens up and plays the video, I just want to see the start, stop and volume controls. Here is the code I am using.

<!-- begin embedded WindowsMedia file... -->
<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">
<tr><td>
<OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="240"
classid='CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95'
codebase='http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701'
standby='Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components...' type='application/x-oleobject'>
<param name='fileName' value="http://site name.com/folder/filename.wmv">

<param name='transparentatStart' value='true'>
<param name='autoStart' value="true">
<param name='showControls' value="true">

</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</td></tr>
<!-- ...end embedded WindowsMedia file -->
<!-- begin link to launch external media player... -->
<tr><td align='center'>
<a href="http://site name.com/folder/filename.wmv" style='font-size: 85%;' target='_blank'>Launch in external player</a>
<!-- ...end link to launch external media player... -->
</td></tr>
</table>
