MMS works with one PC but not another |

I originally posted this in the IE forum. A member there suggested I try
here instead.
I'm trying to open a .wmv file through an MMS link. I have read that
WMP11 no longer supports MMS. However, I am able to open the links on
two of my systems that are running XP Pro SP3, IE6, and WMP11. My other
system that is running Vista SP1, IE7, and WMP11 is not able to open
them, and gives an error message that "Some content or files on this
webpage require a program that you don't have installed."
I've been looking for a solution to this for hours. I've tried
everything: disabling "show friendly HTTP error messages", checking the
protocol association (which is correct), looking around in WMP11. From
everything I have read, WMP11 seems to be the deciding factor as it was
the first version to stop supporting MMS. That my other two systems with
WMP11 play the links just fine is what is really confusing me.
