Start windows media player with trigger

[panos_tg]

Hello,

I have a VI that sends a trigger to Biopac MP100 through USB 6501 in order to take EEG signals. When I run the VI, I want windows media player start playing a movie automatically and I want the trigger to go to USB 6501 simultaneously. At the moment when I run the VI the trigger goes to 6501 but the windows media player doesn't start. What can I do?

Use the activeX container and make a WMP referance and than use the URL property to call a movie file
