Embedded WMP files, Java Plug Ins and IE7?

Okay...I've been fiddling with settings and am coming up to a wall.

It seems lately when I use IE7 that I couldn't see WMP files on webpages, but audio comes in fine. Now, if I reinstall WMP10, the videos can be seen and heard, but then any website with a Java plugin says there are several Java machines running at the same time. If I reinstall Java, the Java works but then the WMP doesn't work.

For example: I went to http://www.cbc.ca/video/ and the vids fine. Then to test Java, I went to http://www.java.com/en/ ...

I've already uninstalled quite a few JRE programs via add/remove program and now it's still happening.

Anyone heard about something like this?

Update:
I think it's fixed now after going into the Options of IE7 and disabling JRE 1.6.0_01 option.

Can't really figure out what's going on. Java's own troubleshooting site suggests modifying some sort of setting regarding RAM usage. Then there were issues regarding different versions of Java on the computer.

Argh...seems like since the intro of IE7 and WMP11 there seems to be all these small bugs.
