I have the Mozilla browser which is great, but have several problems for plugins, like when going to a page with a video on it, there's a box that says click here for plugin, and I do, and another box pops up with a link that will take you to thep age with the plugin, so I click on that, but nothing happens. I'm looking for the x-mplayer plugin.

That is the plugin used for porno sites...

Anyway Mike, I could say something like "get a real browser like IE," BUT! I would NEVER say anything like that... [Razz]

Any chance you're running linux on that box?
I had a similar problem with some java script junk. Googling the plugin you need usually returns a zip file or tarball you can extract.
Sorry for the vague answer, but that's what I did.

which OS, and are you using Firefox or Mozilla? What kind of file is it trying to play/or what site is it? also, which platter are you using? [Big Grin]

Ok I tried a computer with a Firefox browser and the video worked fine so I'll have to upgrade my Mozilla browser to Firefox. I have Windows ME at home now. IT was a mpg file (incidentally not porn, well sort of... heh).
