Ric You know, Ric, you kept talking about it, and mplayer/mplayerplug-in kept flaking out on me - it would work for a good while, and then, it would just quit - so I tried your suggested extension - it does seem to work well. No long delay on the CNN site, which has become my metric - that seems to be one of the harder ones - I have a question tho - when I click on a CNN video link, I now get three windows popping up in order to get the video - there's the video play window, there's the second video play window that appears when you click on the arrow, and there's an error message "Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6:" followed by a URL - I tried removing mplayerplug-in but that just leads me back to the old "Can't detect Windows Media Player present error dialog" so I reinstalled mplayerplug-in. I can live with the two popup windows to get snappy video playback, but are you also getting that mysterious message about AF_INET6? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
