Error Msg When trying to play video

Hello, here I am trying to view a video online and every time that I try to open it I get this error msg... Cannot open this helper for mms://stream.assembly.ab.ca/archive/2013-05-09-1. I have win 7 with media player 12, AVG security. At work I can play/open it without any problems... work pc has XP. Is there something wrong with my drive? Tried to update, but it says no new updates available.

Any help you can give is appreciated.

Hey,.

Try setting Windows Media Player as the default player for playback of streaming online videos.

a. Click Start and then type inetcpl.cpl in the search option starting then press ENTER to open the Internet Options window.

b. click on programs, then on setting programs.

c. click on change the AutoPlay settings in the window that opens. You will be presented with a list of programs to select when you open media in Internet Explorer. To change your Media Player for videos, for example, click the select bar to the right of the video files and you will be able to select which player you want to play all the videos that you open in Internet Explorer. You can do the same thing for audio files, images, etc.

d. click on save when you are finished. Close Internet Explorer and start it again. Your new media player settings should now be implemented.

Note: You can choose any other program media player that is installed to make sure that the changes are applied.
