Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 How do I get these files to play/ view/ download? If I'm able to do either one function too it'll help because I have some study instructional material online and when I click it, it gives me a blank page and the extension I see is this.

gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Are you using firefox? If so then make sure the windows media player plugin is installed ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7 ) If it is then try re-install windows media player 9 or 10 (whatever the newest one is). That extension your seeing on the web site is for a windows media player stream. You could also try other players that may support WMP steams like media player classic and I think VLC.

Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted January 15, 2008 I tried with the media player within Firefox and it still doesn't work. Ok, I'm a lil scared to reinstall Media Player ! I have CCCP installed too Sledge ... Thing is, when I click the link it straight away opens up within the same tab/ window and attempts to 'play' the application, rather than saving it. If I could save it, I'd be able to view it off VLC or CCCP or Zoomplayer or whatever that supports the file extension.

gokuDX7 2,871 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 try doing a window update check to see if theirs any newer versions of windows media player and update to them. That may fix the problem. If you cant reinstall then I don't relay know of anything else you can try. Make a post on firefox's forum stating the problem your having. I'm sure they will have some things you could try in the about:config . Quote All hail piggy, king of bacon ^)^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the56ker 100 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 theres an option when you update all your media players they all have em to turn off stream support for browsers that way it will always try to download if the site is correctly setup Quote [sIGPIC] http://forums.ancientclan.com/signaturepics/sigpic1654_3.gif[/sIGPIC] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
