Here's what it looks like

Here's what it looks like in IE.

You have the old version of the windows media plugin in Firefox. To upgrade this, visit Mozilla's plugin check page: http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/

Try the VLC player with the plugin from:

http://www.videolan.org

Unable to detect the Microsoft DRM or Windows Medial Player plugins from the link above. [Ron, I've had VLC for a long time now and installed the latest update May1.]

I have Full K-Lite codex, Registry Patrol, avast, ad-aware et al, CCleaner, and when through all of them before responding to the suggested fix.

I just installed the latest Opera and wma's work from there as well as IE. Opera seems to have a HUGE screen window. Seems great for webcasting....

I also had some problems with the back button on the latest Firefox.

Thank you for your assistance. I've had Firefox for many years now.

Make sure the Windows Media plugin for Firefox is enabled in tools->add-ons->plugins. The older "npdsply" plugin should be disabled in the same window.

Note that the button says "Enable" when the plugin is disabled and "Disable" when the plugin is enabled.

I had this problem too and I finally solved it by disabling RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin. Now it's OK.
