Forum Windows XP : Video Wmv save vs open

Word :    Username :           
 

Hi. I know this has been asked before, but the surgested work around dose not work for me.
I am running a fylly updated WinXP Home SP3.
When clicking on a link to a wmv tile, in IE / Firefox, it opens in Windows Mediaplayer, without asking me to open or save. In Explorer, Tools menu, Folder Options, File Types, WMV, Advanced, i have tryed both checkking an unchecking - Confirm open after download. It has no effect, i have tryed to relaunch IE / Firefox, reboot the computer, re-check / re-uncheck - Confirm.... I have not had this problem until i reinstalled WinPX, after a fatal crash.
