Am I the only one who finds this a strange statement, or is it that I use
Media Player Classic?

Whatever it is called it is only half a meg (I use v1.05), easy
install and works nicely

I tried everything, including FF addons.
Maybe it IS because you are using M.P. Classic.
I still have that one installed too. Maybe I'll see if it will load.

Still use Netscape 3.01 w/very few problems (some pages do not load,
some crash the browser, Java junk most likely). Have IE 7, Netscape 8
and have used FF in the past. Prefer Net 4.8 overall. Newer browsers do
allow one to run all the bells and whistle stuff like flash, Java,
media, etc... if one is really interested in someone else telling you
what your PC will do. However, I do avoid using IE at all costs,
bloatware at it's best.
