I am trying to watch the Old Faithful Area Live-Streaming Video

It seems that I am missing a Windows Media Player plug-in that
would allow me to receive this video picture. Here is what is
happening-
--I launch the Old Faithful Geyser Live-Video WebCam from the top of
the web page identified above.
--I then see a new window with http://www.nps.gov-NPS Streaming
Video - Seamonkey at the top followed by a second line containing
nps.gov. No streaming video is present.
I next visited the Frequently Asked Questions page (also
accessed from the above referenced web page) hoping to find the
answer to my problem. There I found the following:
Q. I used to be able to watch the webcam when it was first offered,
but now all I get is a blank, pop-up window. What's wrong?
A. This problem has been reported by people who prefer to use
Firefox. A Windows Media Player plug-in for Firefox is available for
several versions of the Windows operating system. You can find the
free, 302K download at Port25.technet.com.
Well, I now know that there is a Windows Media Player plug-in
that is required in order to make Firefox work. I, however, do not
know the name of this plug-in after clicking the download site. The
site is located at:
http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx
I presume, based on what I read on the above web page, that the
plug-in only works with Firefox.
My next stop was to see what about:plugins would tell me if
anything. There I found "Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link
Library" with nine entries under MIME Type. Again, this does not
tell me much. I presume that I do have Windows Media Player on my
system and that it has nine plug-ins.
Well, that is where I am at this point. I would appreciate any
guidance anybody sends my way regarding this subject. By the way,
my system information is:
Windows XP SP-3

hey froggy, download and install that plugin above. It works for SM
aswell as FF, and the vid plays just fine.
one other thing: when you install it, make sure SM is closed.
Thanks for your quick response--very much appreciated.
I did as you suggested and still no streaming video. I continue to
notice that Windows Media Player is not reflected any place on the
window that opens (as it attempts to play this video). The only thing I
see (as I stated in my first message) is:
I then see a new window with http://www.nps.gov-NPS Streaming Video
- Seamonkey at the top followed by a second line containing nps.gov.
No streaming video is present.
Could it be that it is attempting to open in something other than
Windows Media Player? Is so, how do I fix this? I so see Windows Media
Player listed under Start>All Programs. When I click on Windows Media
Player, however, the window that appears does not look anything like
what I am seeing when I attempt to run the video.
I currently have the following Windows Media Player items listed
under Add or Remove Programs:
Windows Media Format 11 runtine Size 7.99MB
Windows Media Player 11 Size 7.99MB
Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin Size 0.29MB
Thus, it appears that Windows Media Player 11 plus the Firefox Plugin is
loaded on my system.
I checked the about:plugins arena again and have only nine plugins listed.
Any thoughts about what I should do next?
go back into about:plugins and look for the following:
Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin and the
file for that is: np-mswmp.dll
Microsoft DRM and the file for that is: npdrmv2.dll
Windows Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library and
the file for that is: npdsplay.dll
Microsoft DRM and the file for that is: npwmsdrm.dll
If you don't have any of these, then close SM, and hunt
on your hard drive for them. Once found, COPY them to
the plugin directory where SM the program is installed.
Now try again. Any luck this time?
