Windows 10: Windows Media Player for Windows or Microsoft.

First CP i had the player free software, over the years iv had a few laptops with DVD drawer on chosen so i could play DVDs. A couple of years ago someone said you cant have this player you have to purchase this through Microsoft .I had been using it for years free software. So i had no option but to pay for my freeware from Microsoft , with windows 7 finishing i needed to update, so i got a free Download of Windows 10, then they asked me about my player the one i purchased the year .they took the player off me and decided to give me a dogs life ,for the player i had purchased,and once had for years as freeware.

now im being asked to pay for it Again, Microsoft have behaved Despicably towards me, Nasty and mean spirited . Margaret Benjamin.

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
