Browsers not recognize my plugins

I have a problem in getting either Firefox or netscape to recognize
that I have such things as Quicktime installed.
When I go to a website that has files that would normally be played by these "plugins"
the browser says it isnt there.
I have installed/re-installed both the browsers and the software such as Quicktime
I have the latest versions of all
Any ideas as to what is wrong?
Win2K - latest patches

Give links to the problem sites, so we can test.
As a guess, the most likely thing is that QT has grabbed the swf
association. What you are trying to view is probably a Flash movie,
rather then a QT file. The answer is to open QT preferences and
unselect the association for flash files.

Well, if its of any solace, both sound files play correctly from here.
Type about :plugins into the location bar, what does it say about Quick Time?

Thats what a friend of mine heard also
The about :plugins shows quicktime amd windows media player
BUT nothing to deal with the "wav" suffix.
Is there a way to add that?

Look in QT preferences and see if wav is associated with QT.

Yup - qtime has wav checked in file types
It was set to Media playsr in Syetem File Types
I changed system setting but that did not help either.
Is it possible that you cant change the mime type settings inside the browser
unless you re-install quicktime with mime stuff set to desired?
Like once inside the browser it cant be changed easily?

close FF, make your changes in QT, then reopen FF.
