Try installing the Foxytunes plugin.

Choose the Windows Media Player.

That might work.

Ah. Didn't know that.
I haven't used IE in about 2 years.
And about 5 years for WMP.
I prefer "xmplay".

I already had Foxytunes installed. Checking WMP did the trick for playing the pesky Yahoo News videos I was having trouble with. Thanx!

More specifically, WMP 11's a bitch. WMP 10's ok. Of course, I'm speaking of WMP as a standalone application.

Okay, more headaches with WMP and Firefox. I've got a Google homepage with a bunch of 'widgets/gadgets' installed. I downloaded one called Lapixies TV. Very cool, if it would work...which it won't, because it insists that I have to install fucking WMP, which FF won't do.

Any ideas for a brute force install of WMP to FF?

Wow. MS finally provided an installer file that actually worked. Will wonders never cease?
