I'm getting lost, Chris. When I attempt to seach this folder I get an
Alert window reading: "A News (NNTP) error occurred: xpat not supported".

This newsgroup server doesn't support xpat search. you can search

Looks like I'm missing two to the three files needed in the npdsplay.dll
set. Thanks, Nir. I take a shot at squaring it up later this evening.

P.S. I read a little about "xpat search", just to understand what I've
run into. But I'm curious... why wouldn't the servers on this type of
newsgroup permit such a cross search?

I just looked more closely. The issue isn't that I have two of these
three files missing from the PLayer folder, it's that they are simply
missing from Firefox. I think something got hung up or went awry when I
allowed FF to install the extension or add-on (I don't know the
distinction). If that is the likely root cause... how do I resolve it?

I think you can do two things:
1. search for those three files in your system , when found , copy them
to Plugins folder ( located within Firefox program folder )

2. download those three files from the links given within that article :
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Me...Missing_plugin
copy them to Plugins folder

after completing , goto that site

I'm sure someone can supply the details but, as I recall it, XPAT
searches are very heavy and demanding on the server resources, sometimes
to such an extent that the server collapses. I've read on these groups
several times that that is the main reason for servers *not* to support
them!
