SYMPTOMS
When you play a media stream through a Microsoft ActiveX control on your Web site, any banner ads that are associated with the media stream may not be displayed.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if you use a Windows Media Player 6.4 control on a computer that has Windows Media Player 9 installed on it. Because of compatibility issues, BANNER and LOGO tags are not supported when they are used through the Windows Media Player 6.4 ActiveX control.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, either replace the old control with the newer Windows Media Player 9 Series ActiveX control, or use Media Player detection code and switch between the controls depending on the version of Windows Media Player version users of your Web page have. To obtain sample code and more information about migrating from Windows Media Player 6.4 controls to Windows Media Player 9, visit the following Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series Software Development Kit (SDK) Web site:
