233675 - In place of flash animation, 'dummy' Windows media player comes up

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Plugins Graveyard :: Windows Media Player (Microsoft), defect)

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

Several people at http://www.appleforum.com (Korean Mac user group web page)
complained that after installing Windows media player 9, Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox
0.8 (and earlier) can't 'render' flash animation. In place of flash animations,
they reported that 'Windows media player' (without any conctent) comes up. 

I'll add the URLs of some sites with the problem once I get them from those who
experienced the problem. (I don't have a mac so that I can't test it myself)

The screenshot is available at

http://www.sbs.co.kr was taken a shot of. Note that there's a dummy window media
player in the top image where 'gif' image is in the bottom image (Safari). So,
it's not just flash. 

Other sites with the problem:
