I got this alert while I was browsing on the net, currently my mac is running
on 10.3.5 and I don't have any idea on this problem or where to download
the plug-in.

The page "SHOW PAGE!" has content of MIME type "application/x-oleobject".
Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content
can't be displayed.

Not for us... I should add it to the FAQ :-\ No support for OLE objects on
the Mac.

I have looked all over the Apple Support discussion boards for this plug in
and have yet to find one that exists for Safari? MAC. We are now hoping to
find a Korean website that does not require this plug in.

OLE objects are Windows features. Office for Mac used to use some OLE
componenets as far as I remember, but it's long gone.

I guess it'd be up to MS to develop OLE support on the Mac and
considering how it is embeded in the system in Windows, I don;t think we
will EVER see it.

Hi,
I get the same message on my G4 500. MacOSX 10.3.7 while using Safari (or
Firefox) accessing a web radio station via Windows Media Player, however
Internet Explorer works fine.... so something must be missing for Safari or
Microsoft's WMP badly adapted...

Nope, it's just that IE is the only app that can use *some* (very few)
OLE objects. OLE objects are a windows thing that Mac browsers dont;
support (except, as I was saying IE that supports some OLE and some
Actvite-X).
