This is the Plug in for FireFox:
port25.technet.com/pag...nload.aspx
This will tell you that its working right:
plugindoc.mozdev.org/t...wmp11.html
But Road Runner still doesn't want to work for me, try it and it may work for you, but it could be because I'm running Windows 64-bit that it is not working for me on Firefox (not all plug ins are made with 64-Bit in mind, my program files get installed in 2 different locations due to having to separate 32-bit (normal programs) and 64-bit programs so they can work on the same system).

Ho, Ho, Ho Me and slick Billy are going to have a jump up and down. Got a XP Pro 64 bit update and it killed my printer. According to the MS site the MS Clowns have finally decided to stop making all updates retro for everything, as in the past, and some older printers just happen to be on the list of things left behind. Jeez, HP no longer makes updates for some of their drivers either, because MS was doing it.
So get ready for some interesting stuff to just quit working as MS updates your software and be prepared to do a return to last week.
Best,
Ed

The link you listed is for:
XP SP2 64 and 86
Vista 64 and 86
I’m running Vista 32
I did some quick checking and it seams that streaming radio can be a issue with Firefox.
What don’t make sense is Yahoo radio works just fine.

I’ve been surfing the net some and have found other sites that need plug-ins and a box pops up telling me so and ask if I want to install it.
Why didn’t it do that for the rr-radio ???

Click on "Tools" and "Add-ons" and choose the ones you want.

Vista x86 in Geek speak is Vista 32, just as XP x86 in Geek speak is XP 32.
x86 is the CPU architecture that Intel and AMD use for the 32-bit systems. As they all originally derive from the original architecture that the 8086 chip used.

As you probably already figured out I’m not even close to being a geek !!!
Anyways the plug-in is working but not for the rr radio. (needed it for other sites though)
It’s really not that big of a deal, I can use Yahoo radio or open IE in another window and listen that way if I really want/need to.
Once again thanks for the help !!!

Sorry that my fix wouldn't work for you either. I tried a couple of things such as making Firefox fake the signals it sends to websites to make the site think that its IE, but that didn't work either with Road Runner.
I think its time to complain to your Service Provider that they are not servicing their customers

I’ve been having a series of little things go wrong for the last week or so !!!
Two days ago my video card had something happen to it. Long story short I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled from the Intel site. Fixed most of the problems. Still have some issues though.

Interesting Chambered.
I hope you get them all fixed up.
