Anyone here who knows how to disable it?
Don't really know what ActiveMovie is (heard it, now forgot what it is).

nope, activemovie is a window that pops up whenever i try to play some streaming files
ex: .wmv
I would have no idea then.

First, try Google.

If that still doesn't work, is this IE By the way?  Try using Firefox.  If you are using Firefox, go Tools»Options»Content»File Types»Manage.
thnks for the reply, but it's still there.... even if i play the .wmv from my hd with WMP the video  still plays in another window. think I'll just leave it.

sorry for another question,,, but do you know how to remove the drm from from a protected file(wmv)? I've got the licensce anyway to view it on my pc but i can't convert it to view to my psp. I've got "TuneBite" but it takes a lot of time, and "FairUse4WM" but it doesn't work on latest WMP,,, I'm afraid to uninstall the WMP and reinstall the older version co'z it might delete my licensce and won't be able to re-acquire it without paying again.

sorry for my bad english :)
Oh, if it appears in WMP, it could be DirectShow related - try installing something over it instead - like ffdshow, and enable WMV rendering through ffdshow instead.

As for DRM removal, I believe there are some apps, but...  if they don't work, I can't really help you (with video).  Typically, DRM protected music can have DRM removed by simply burning an audio CD, then re-ripping it.  Dunno if you can burn the DRM'd video onto DVD or something...
You should always avoid DRM when possible...
