I have an experiment that works fine on my PC, but when the student runs it on her laptop, the videos go black when they have finished instead of staying on the final frame.

The experiment is here: http://www.2000ad.org/psych/cups/ and only works on IE. On the first screen click on the star or the black bar to start, and the black bar between trials.

The code I am using for embedding the video is:

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="384" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="<?php echo $video; ?>.wmv">
<PARAM name="AutoStart" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="uiMode" VALUE="none">
</OBJECT>

Any ideas of how to fix it on the student's laptop so the last frame stays visible?

Did you ever solve this?
I am using dreamweaver to do something that sounds like its doing what you want, in FFox at least. It might be that having the movie file as a .mov file, might solve it even...
anyway, here is the code:
