Tarik -I also suspected that it is WMP file/content.
However, I already have WMP 9.0 installed, for many months.

As I said, I thought I was fully configured.

HOW do I tell Safari to use WMP ?

Now I am suspecting the web-page, having read this:

	Using the <Embed> Element
	to Embed Media in a Web Page

  	Although HTML DTD validates <object> only 
in order to embed media  objects
	in a web page, using this <object> 
element entails a  cross-browser limitation. For
	instance, if you want to present media in 
any  type of browsers (Netscape and
	Opera don't support Active X controls), 
you have  to incorporate an <embed> tag
	between the pair of <object>  tags.

I think this means that if you do not follow this 
advice, other browsers (iother than Internet 
exploder) cannot interpret the code.
