I just got a brand new Gateway computer and it's totally up-to-date. With that being said, I downloaded the newest version of Mozilla Firefox. Yet on many websites, especially ones that provide music video codes, I get this thing that comes up at the top of the browser that says "Additional plugin's required to view this page." Ok so I click on that, and a window comes up and prompts me that no additional plugins can be found. (This always happens when I'm trying to view a video on the sites that provide you with codes to put them on Myspace or other similiar site.)
What is the deal? I don't like using I.E. and I am just wondering WHICH plug in do I need to download in order to view videos. I downloaded Windows Media Player 11 and also found a list of plug-ins available for download. If anyone can help me with this, it'd be greatly appreciated!

The most common plug-ins are Shockwave, Flash, and Quicktime. The first two can be downloaded for free at http://www.adobe.com and QT is available at http://www.apple.com Install all three of those and try your websites again.

you like 3 important programmes. An Antivirus, An spyware sweeper and a respectable Firewall. Grisoft furnish an superb Antivirus (AVG) thats unfastened for homestead use. version 7.a million is being discontinued Jan fifteenth yet there will be a clean, unfastened AVG version 7.5. I certainly have used this programme for the previous 3 years and function not been stricken with the aid of any virus ( touch wood) What i admire approximately AVG is that it exams its as much as date virus definitions record each time you connect with the internet so which you have as much as the minute risk-free practices. in addition they do an anti undercover agent ware programme thats additionally unfastened yet I certainly have not tried it. i'm pleased with the unfastened version from Lavasoft (Adaware).Updates are prevalent and has under no circumstances permit my down. ultimately Firewall. To be undemanding i'm better than pleased with the Microsoft Firewall that got here with SP2 yet used to have a unfastened programme from Zonelabs called Zone Alarm. The zone alarm nevertheless gets super comments in computing gadget mags as do AVG and Adaware. I in simple terms got here across it too careful and flagged up each thing even remotely suspicious. not a foul undertaking relatively. There you bypass, 3 super programmes enthusiastic approximately unfastened. Dont forget approximately to have your automated updates became on. i understand Microsoft is completed of holes yet they do undertaking patches usually yet you will desire to save as much as this element.
