Plugins

I have windows XP Service Pack 2 and when on the BBC homepage, I tried to play a video news clip and it says I need a plugin. What plugin and where do I get it? I have Windows Media Player 11. HELP!!

The BBC site usually uses RealPlayer for sound and video clips.

The link you clicked probably gives you an option to install RealPlayer. If not, try the BBC Technical Help page, it gives a step-by-step guide to installing RealPlayer.

Install Real Alternative, not real player.

Real player itself is junk. The alternative does the same job without slowing your computer.
