Well I actually had to re-install QuickTime and when I did it asked me to do the MIME settings so that it knows which files to handle when serving the internet.

But open up QuickTime, and go to Edit ---> Preferences ---> QuickTime Settings

There should be a pulldown box, click it and Select 'Browser Plugins'

Click on the button that says MIME Settings and make sure you have a checkmark on these file mime types:

Streaming video
Video - Video only or video with sound formats
Audio - Audio only file formats
MPEG - MPEG system, video, and audio files.

Yeah....dude, IE has crashed on my PC countless times......not once has Firefox crashed. It's much more stable on your system.

i find FF to be more stable than IE as well.

and the only problem i had with so far is that some download links will give me a page full of script or something.

thats another MIME settings problem. When file types dont have a browser plugin mime set to it, it will just decode the whole file as ASCII info
