well now i feel like an idiot lol. i had no idea there'd be a description box... the microsoft plugins aren't remotely close to being capable of running the vids, as all i end up with is a still pic and rolling audio. i've tried quicktime and real player, and come to finr real player does nothing for my issue, and firefox disables my quicktime (version 7.1 somethin) due to blocklisting. i just need help desperately trying to find the proper combo of plugins to make my firefox 3 version run properly. and sorry if i left out any important info, as i AM rather ignorant to all of this kinda stuff.
