If I go to a streaming windows media video on the web, it opens up under all
other windows when I am using AOL browser. The settings of Media Player are
good because it plays properly on top if I use Internet Explorer. AOL claims
it is a Microsoft issue. What do you think?

That embedding inside applications that are using the IE COM Control in
certain ways doesn't work correctly and leads to such a behavior, which
might be intentional, but cannot be worked around reasonably?
That you're unable to differ between Internet Explorer, AOl browser and
a webbrowser? That WMP is unableon the web anyway, assuming correct
settings?

Problem solved. It turns out that it was related to pop up stopper on AOL. I
was holding down the control key to disable the pop up stopper but this put
the media player in the background. After I changed the setting of the pop up
stopper to allow the viewed site, it played correctly on top of other windows.

Oh, glad you got it working - I don't know anything much about what
AOLs browser does ;-)

Cheers - Neil
