Golive, link problems in IE

[twistlick]

I've got a site that has Windows Media files (video) embedded in some of the pages. Each of these pages has a 'Go to NEXT MOVIE' link for the user to skip to the next page where another .wmv file is embedded.

This works with no problems in Safari and Firefox but when viewing with Internet Explorer on a PC if I click the 'NEXT MOVIE' link it sends me to a page that appears to have a .wmv file there but it won't play. It's like a dead file. So I hit the 'NEXT MOVIE' link again and it goes to the following page (the 3rd page in this scenerio) and WILL play. Then the process repeats, forcing the user to skip every other page. Any idea's on how to fix this?

When using the quicktime versions everything works fine.

Do you have a large percentage of viewers who requested or use the WMA version?

If not why not just dump that format? It'll keep the layout simpler and create less work for you.
