Firefox - Firefox and Windows Media

05-16-2006, 08:54 PM

I just got a broadband (sort of, satellite), but I can't seem to get
streaming video through Windows Media in the Firefox browser. Of course it
works fine with any IE based browser. Is this a Microsoft/Firefox deal, or
should it work? If not, is there a viewer of choice for Firefox? Thanks.

Try the Windows Media Lite plugin available at:
http://www.codecguide.com/

While there check out the Alternative Quicktime and Real Player
plugins.

The link I previously gave (which you snipped out) contains "Windows
Media Player 9.0 registry patch" which is a .reg file. Download the
file and then double-click it to install the settings into the Windows
registry. If you want to know what's in it then open it in Notepad.
