Both links play, but neither shows the control panel. I took dove in and what should have been simple ended up being .... Because of the round-about dependencies of mozilla-1.0.1, evolution-xx, and plugger-4.07, I ended up having to rpm -e all of them. OK, not too painful. However, rpm -e plugger looks like it is working and then rpm goes to sleep. Evidently, rpm in RH 8 has got lots of problems. I kill -9 the process, rm -f /var/lib/*_db_ to delete the rpm databases, and then rpm --rebuilddb. I probablity have done that about a dozen times tonight until I chanced upon a workaround. For whatever reason, rpm -i or -e of plugger hangs corrupts my rpm databases unless the --nodep option is used. So now I have, [root@www root]# rpm -qa | grep -i plugger plugger-4.0-17 [root@www root]# rpm -qa | grep -i mozilla mozilla-nspr-1.2.1-0_rh8_xft mozilla-1.2.1-0_rh8_xft [root@www root]# rpm -qa | grep -i timi timidity++-2.11.3-4 [root@www root]# installed. Now the 3 test files give me music, but not the control panel (just like you said above). Also, I have noticed that leaving the page or exiting Mozilla does not always turn off the music. One has to kill the plugger and timidity processes to turn it off. It is difficult to understand why such an important tool as an internet browser in todays environment acts as though it is in beta development. I would be curious to know if your music always stops. I put up a third test file too, http://www.mm-vanecek.com/card_embed3.html just to make things even less complex. Thank you for your help. I gotta go on the road for a few days. I guess I will bang my head against this again later. Regards, Mike. PS: the 1.2.1 fonts are nice. Have you given any thought to going to 1.3a?? -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
