Mac Forum / Applications / Media Player / March 2006WMP 9.0.0 not recognized on some web sites
I have an intel mac with WMP 9.0.0. On several websites, such as MSNBC, CNN, when I click on the video links, message appears that the version 9 plug in is not found and directs me to download it. On other sites, the player works fine. Does anyone else experience this? Any help to solve this problem is much appreciated. Thanks. > I have an intel mac with WMP 9.0.0.

There is nothing you can do then. MSNBC doesn't even ask me for WMP9, they require v10...

Unfortunately, I'm not even sure a solution *can* be found. There is somply no browser with ActiveX support on MacOS X and they are probably using WMP10-only features...

The extension installs, then disappears from the list almost immediately because it is not supported :-\ Corentin Signature--- Mac:MS MVP (Francophone) --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire |
