You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So, we need to somehow get WMP to be the default stream player, something I don't know how to do off hand.

Anyone? Bueller?

Thrive to spite them

I think I might have figured it out! I went into WMP and checked "all file types" which wasn't selected before and when I tried it again this time the player in the pop up looks like WMP.

Except it's still "connecting to media", so maybe this won't work.

Well, that didn't work. It looks right but it still won't play.

Oh well. Right now I'm following the game via the nhl's play by play and the sunsports lightning forum.

I cant get to my AOL mail, because it isn't available by my version of Explorer. So I tried to download Firefox, but it doesn't open.

I'm fucked, right?

askye, do you have a firewall or anything else that might be blocking that type of live streaming transmission?

So I have an iMac, G3, 10.1 OS. I'm told I cant upgrade to Tiger, I cant get to AOL mail because Explorer is too old and cant upgrade because they stopped upgrading for mac.

Firefox is downloaded, but wont open. it's a .dmg file and I dont understand what that means. So, I just spent an assload on broadband, and cant do one of two things I use the net for...reading my email.

Help. Me.

From what I've gathered after a quick Google search, you double click on the DMG file and it should mount a virtual drive on your desktop and you install it from there. I'm not really familiar with it since my last Mac was a Quadra ages ago.
