Dear all,
I am new to windows vista, and I encountered a problem that I want to using Netscape navigator to browse web and sometime I visit website that contain media files such as mp3, wma... and the browse doesn't play it using WMP. With Firefox browse can play them after I install the plugin but Netscape doesn't.
I have find around to find a plugin for Netscape but I have not found yet.
Any body can tell me the way to fix it?
I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit with SP1, WMP 11.0.6001.7000, netscape navigator 9b3.

Copy the plugin file from your Firefox profile to your Netscape profile and it might work....

Thanks alot! It works.

P/S: after deleting all files in the folder except the existing file before copied and np-mswmp.dll, I think that we need np-mswmp.dll only in the folder plugin to make it work ^^

Hi Phdminh,

I hope your planning on using another web browser soon since Netscape has officially announced that the company would stop supporting Netscape software products as of March 1st 2008, That means no security updates, bug fixes or new versions and could allow malicious code to infect your PC :(

Oh men,
I just like the way Netscape get news and category it in to a separate menu, so I easy to up to date (except the time I am too busy for exam).
Well, I may switch back to Firefox as before.
Thank you all for your suggestion and support! ^^
