Hi All!!Well, I just got my new iMac 20" 2.4 GHz the other day, after using Windows based systems since I can remember. I'm VERY impressed so far, and I dont think I'll go back to a PC...like, ever!!

Anyways my question: whilst using Safari, I've found that I cant watch some of my video highlights. I'm a huge NBA fan, and when I go to watch videos from tht site - aong with other sites - they simply dont work. I have the latest Windows Media Player installed, but I', guessing theres some kind of special plugin I need? If so, where do I find it? Because I've been looking for one for ages and have been un-successful thus far. Thanks guys!

Thanks for your support Gomez. Sadly that did nothing. I dont think I actually explain clearly enough. On NBA.com, I watch streaming videos - now downloaded ones. So when I view the screen where the video streams/plays, nothing shows up. As also, when I've gont to other sites that have Windows Media Player streaming videos - it says I require a plugin but provdes no link. As mentioned before, I have the latest version of WMP but I dont know where to get this plugin!

He's right, use flip4mac. I went to nba.com and it worked fine. I use filp4mac and Camino which is the same as firefox.
I tested it with Safari and had no luck.

Try a different browser for a little. A lot of people prefer Camino or Firefox over Safari. Both can be downloaded here: Link!!
