New to active X, why does this not work

[Eyecheck2003]

I am trying to develop an application that launches the Windows media player to play a wave file. When I use the attached vi and select the wave file, everything looks good in the container but no luck getting to play.

Any ideas?

Which version of media player do you have? LabVIEW (6.1, 7.0, and 7.1) doesn't work with media player 9.0.
