Videos Embedded In Browsers Don't Play


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am having problems with videos embedded in browsers: they won't play (except QuickTimes movies) both in IE and in Firefox.

Videos loaded from the hard disk play regularly.

In Firefox I get the following message:

Illegal operation in Plugin.

Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library.

The pugin performed an illegal operation. You are strongly advised to restart Navigator.

I have checked the plugins in Firefox, they all are in place apparently.

In IE I don't get any message, the videos simply don't play and Dw15.exe tries to send error data to MS, I suppose.

I use Windows 2000 with WMP 9

This problem has arisen a couple of days ago. I tried to think what may have caused it, and the only doubts I have concern my removal of software that I did not use (ICQ and AIM messanger, a third-party video player and some freeware stuff): I might have inadvertently erased something. But I am not sure, it might be a coincidence. Searching in Google, I realized that several people have experienced similar problems.

Is there a way to check if everything is in place?

I have checked these files:

msdxm.ocx

wmpdxm.dll

wmp.dll

they are in the WNNT/system32/ folder.

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Joe

well, welcome to neowin, but please don't use caps in your title.

the problem is the plugin is crashing (possibly due to corruption), have you tried reinstalling wmp?

Hi, thanks for your welcome and sorry for the caps.

Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled wmp, a couple of times even, but to no avail.
