The first one there was the car crash and it worked just great. It
used WPM, so you might find your answers here:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows-all.html#WMP, especially the
registry patch under known issues.

Also, you might want to try and reinstall wpm:

Time for a change

Well reinstalling didn't work because it says I'm running a newer version.
I'm not so sure I can uninstall WMP all the way. I went to add/remove
windows components and removed it that way, but that doesn't "really" remove
it. The known issues doesn't really apply to my situation. I did find that
Firefox is missing the WMP plugin. I just need to figure out why I can't
get it in there.

why do you say the known issues don't apply to you?

Time for a change

I say that because I'm running WMP 10 and XP Media Center. The known issues
apply to NT, 95 and WMP 9.0. Am I wrong?? Wouldn't be the first time.
Firefox is not detecting the WMP plugin at all. Here's the text from the
known issues:

Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player 7.1 is not supported on Windows 95 or NT 4.0.
Workaround: It is possible to install Windows Media Player 7.1 on Windows 95
or NT 4.0, however, this is not a supported procedure. Installing Windows
Media Player 7.1 on Windows 95 or NT 4.0.

When Windows Media Player 9.0 is installed, Mozilla still uses the Windows
Media Player 6.4 control (bug 193883).
Workaround: Applying the Windows Media Player 9.0 registry patch will make
Mozilla use the Windows Media Player 9.0 control. Alternatively, you can try
using the Windows Media Player ActiveX Control.

Using the Windows Media Player 9.0 control may cause Mozilla to crash on
exit on Windows 2000 systems. This appears to be triggered by having the
Java plugin installed. [Bug 244713]. Upgrading to Java Runtime Environment
5.0 Update 4 is reported to fix this problem.

I fixed it. I had to download a plugin for Netscape (which I don't use) in
order to get it to work. Tada.

Thanks for trying to help.
