However, due to high bandwitdth, the default setting with watching news telecasts is on dialup. When i switch to high-speed in IE, there are no issues. However, when i try to do the same in Firefox, it reloads the page, but it continues to stay as a dialup feed. Does anyone have any idea what i have to do so i can finally not use IE anymore? Hi,

So? The problem I'm having (with a Firefox later than PR1.0) is, f.i., at http://www.tbx.be/cameras/gp.html

It was bringing up MP6.4 (mplayer2.exe).

So I merged in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\Firefox.exe]

Now it does bring up WMP9, but not quite correctly, still as if it was MP6.4, with full display format and the controls at mid-height.
And, of course, it says Ready, but it shows nothing, even if one hits Play.

My plugins, etc... are being pointed to by Firefox OK...
IE 6 works. So?

Coimbra cara_lho2001@yahoo.com By James Baring Dear Henrik,With your registry fix for Windows Media Player 9/10 you solved a problem that nobody else could. After installing the update to 9/10 I lost pictures or sound and eventually both, not only in Mozilla but then in IE. After a month of trying everything I found this page. It cured the problem in both Mozilla and IE. It is not just the skin of WMP that is now correct, BOTH BROWSERS NOW FUNCTION with media Player. Thank you very much.James Dear Henrik,
