IE8 Streaming WMV problems

We got a few e-mails from some members that are having issues with their recently updated versions of IE (came in windows update automatically, according to them - vista users)

Basically says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when you try and stream a .WMV movie in your browser. You can still right-click and save as, and works just fine.

IE8 comes default with windows 7 beta and I tried it out and re-create the issue 100% of the time...IE7 and all other browsers work perfectly. Same issue in protected and non-protected areas, on multiple servers.

Anyone else experiencing this...or know of a fix? Is this just Microsoft being retarded and not being able to stream their own media format? LOL

I tried looking around a little for some information on this, or if it's a known issue or whatever but couldn't find much.
