I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player for Firefox, why can I not play games?

I have done everything Firefox has told me, in order to play games. I cannot play games on msn, pogo, etc. The game loads, the screen changes and nothing happens. The screen stays blank.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, and in most cases the paths are listed in the Windows registry. Firefox 21 changed the location of a "shared" plugin folder so those installers that do not include the path in the registry may strand the plugin in the obsolete location. The solution is in this article: [[Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update]].

  • Downloading and installing windows media components for quicktime

    I am relatively new to Mac and haven't really installed much other than Handbrake. I was trying to install windows media components for quicktime or even windows media player for quicktime in order to play .wmv files. However, anytime I click to download something, NOTHING HAPPENS. No download appears, nothing goes to my download stack, nothing installs. Is there something I need to know when attempting to download and install something on my Mac that I may not just know coming over from the dark side of windows?
    any help is appreciated

    Yes, good advise...Flip4Mac is essential for WMV content. Here's a list of other things you might need for the various formats out there.

    Real Player

  • Windows Media plugin for firefox loads but does not play

    Hi,
    I am facing problems using windows media plugin on firefox as well as other browsers as well. I guess the problems would lie on the windows media plugin.
    Few weeks back, I do not have any problems running windows media player on firefox, however I am unable to do so now. I am able to load the plugin but I cannot play it. I tried testing the plugin on the site below. Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    You can try to fully trust Firefox + its sub processes/files in the security software (antivirus and firewall). You can also try to '''Disable''' other possibly conflicting '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. You could also uninstall it from the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features and [www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download reinstall it].

  • Questions on Flip4Mac and MS Windows Media player for Mac

    If one installs "flip4mac" sofware, the plugin is installed. Will there be a icon or an application file for this software and an uninstaller file in the application folder? Do I have to activate the plugin before I use the web site to play the "wma" or "wmv" files? or it is not necessary to do that once it is installed? To uninstall, do I activate the "uninstall" file or the icon in the application folder?
    As per Dave, in the Maxfixit, he says he uninstalled and went back to using media player. Does the Microsoft WM player handle DRM files to play? If so why Craig is saying that Flip4Mac is a "MUST HAVE"? Why not install the Microsoft WM player instead of Flip4Mac?
    If one wants to install Microsoft WM player, what is latest version available for Mac? and where can I get it from and install it? MS WM player for Mac ver 9 comes in .bin or .hqt formats not .dmg format. Does the .bin format be installed by doule clicking on the file? or you need "stuffit" prog to expand and install the same?
    Appreciate your suggestions regarding this matter. Thanks.

    A Flip4Mac application folder is created in the Applications folder.  An uninstaller is included in the folder along with the Flip4Mac player application.
    Flip4Mac currently does not play files that are protected by the MS DRM.  However, if you use WMP on an Intel Mac you will have to run the browser in Rosetta because the WMP browser plug-in is not a universal binary.  I'm not sure that the Mac version of WMP will play DRM protected files.
    Yes, Stuffit is required to unpack the archive.  You can download Stuffit Expander from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com or www.allume.com.

  • Downloading and installing move media player

    I have been trying to install move media player from abc.com and cwtv.com but neither works for me. Sometimes it will get to the Installing... part and then stop there. Sometimes it will get to the Cleaning Up.... part and then stop there. And other times it will just say cannot install.
    I have a macbook: 2.16 GHx Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I used to be able to watch shows on both until the other day. I did not change anything on my computer when this stopped working. I tried getting rid of all files from the previously downloaded move player. still didn't work.
    I'm not sure what to do...

    I searched for over 3 months for a solution to this problem and after i found it i had to create an account on here just so I could post a solution that worked for me.
    First, one of the things that I discovered in my case was that if I looked in homedirectory/library/ i could not locate the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder. However if i looked in rootdirecotyr/library I was able to locate the folder. I copied this folder to my homedirectory/library folder. I then went to:
    http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/espn360/faq
    to download the movemedia installer. After that I went to ABC.com and tried to watch one of their "Free Full Episodes" which prompted me to download an update to the plug in I had just installed. After downloading and installing the update I was finally done!!! I hope this helps I know how increadibly frustrating it feels!!

  • Problems with Windows Media Player for Mac's

    Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player for Mac's to view video on the web ?
    Anybody has experience with it ? What are possible problems that may be encountered ? Thanks for any input or feedback.

    "Is it safe to download and opperate Windows media player"
    Sure, why not?
    You should know that's it's discontinued, and no longer developed by Microsoft, and therefore will never be native to Intel Macs. You should look to the free Flip4Mac QuickTime plugin from flip4mac.com

  • Installed windows media player but still cannot play some files

    I've installed windows media player for mac but some sites still ask me to download, have you encountered the same problem before?

    Most sites require Windows media player version 10 or 11. The latest version available for mac is version 9. So are still not able to play the content.
    An alternative is to download Flip4Mac from http://www.flip4mac.com
    I have downloaded and installed this software and found that it serves as a good substitute.

  • I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this?

    While installing a program (MediaCenter.exe) to handle audiobooks from the library, I erroneously associated the download site with Windows Media Player instead of the actual application (NetLibrary Media Center). How can I reverse/change this? Reinstalling the application does not clear the error, so I'm assuming the association is somewhere in Firefox.

    Never mind -- I just found it under Tools/Options.../Applications, where I changed the incorrect association of "nlmcp" from Windows Media Player to the correct one, NetLibrary Media Center. Done!

  • HT1926 I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll.  error 7 (windows error 126)

    I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll.  error 7 (windows error 126). Anyone else having this issue? How do I get iTunes back in working order?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Cannot install windows media player

    i downloaded windows media player for mac but cannot install it on my macbook pro. its giving me an error that it is not supported on this system. Is there an easy way to install it, or is there a version avaialbe for macbook pro?

    Flip4Mac will not work on Intel Macs as its not Universal yet.
    If anyone here wants a Universal plugin for WMV content and cannot wait for Flip4Mac to go Universal try Popwire Tech.
    http://www.popwire.com/productinfo.php?cPath=1&productsid=7
    Its free for playback of WMV in QT but you have to pay if you want to encode to WMV.

  • How do I install Windows Media Player on iBook

    I have downloaded Windows Media Player to my desktop, but do not know how to find an appropiate progam in which to install it with. I would very much like to satch sports over the internet and Windows media palyer is required for most of my current subscriptions.
    Forgive my ignorance, as it is my first day with an iBook or any Mac for that matter. (Really prefer it over my past PC's thus far)
    Thanks to all.

    Stuffit Expander is required to open the WMP download
    any many others you'll encounter while using a Mac.
    It's available free from Stuffit.com.
    Thanks. Will do.

  • How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

    Hi again,
    I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
    PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

    Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
    The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.

    I hope you are aware that the Windows Media Player plug-in will not work with Safari because it's not a universal binary. Furthermore, WMP is no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac. Instead you should download and install Flip4Mac (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.)
    Although the WMP plug-in for Safari will not work on an Intel Mac, the player will work fine through the Rosetta emulator. If you are insistent upon using WMP with Safari, then after you install WMP and the plug-in, select Safari's application icon, press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Check the option "Open using Rosetta." This will force Safari to run as a PPC app.
    If Stuffit Expander will not open the .bin archive then check to be sure you are using the current version of it. If you continue having problems then try using TheUnarchiver instead (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.) It's also possible you have a defective download.
