Quicktime 7 is taking over
I love Quicktime 7 Pro but it has taken over my browser and attempts to display any video, Quicktime or not. It fails with wmv files on cnn.com and other sites. How can I disable Quicktimes’ need to take over my browsers video from other formats? Is it even possible?
Thanks,

Whenever QT7 grabs my browser and won’t play nice with Windows Media files, I merely:
- ctrl-click on the link,
- copy the address and
- paste it into Windows Media Player.
Not the most elegant solution but it works.

Thank you, Ron. BTW, I love the new podcasts. I thought I was a freak working from home. Now

You might be able to learn something if you go to Safari’s Help menu and select “Installed Plug-ins” check to see what it has to say. On mine, it lists the Windows Media player for wmv files.
I wonder if reinstalling the player would evict Quicktime from controll of that file format…?
Incidentally, under system preferences:Quick time:Plug in:MIME settings, you get a check list of file types that quicktime will run. If you’ve installed third party players, some of the items may be unchecked already…
hope that helps,
