[thelist] Windows Media 9 and Mozilla/Netscape 7

[Diane Soini]

Apparently it is possible to play embedded Windows Media 9 in a web 
page using Mozilla and Netscape 7.

What I've read suggests that Netscape 7 comes with the required plugins 
installed, and you can install ActiveX for Mozilla to use.

Well, I installed Netscape 7 (on Windows XP Pro) and I downloaded and 
installed the ActiveX controls that Mozilla (I have Firefox) supposedly 
uses, running the little script that comes with it that tells you 
everything is installed correctly. But embedded Windows Media does not 
play or display in either browser. Trying to instantiate the ActiveX 
control using Javascript fails with an error. If I type in 
about:plugins it says I have Windows Media Player plugins installed and 
enabled. But neither browser works.

I do have the correct Windows Media 9 installed on my PC because it is 
my job to work with it. All works ok in IE.

Is there something I haven't tried?
