I want AVI's to work

http://members.toast.net/cbminfo/bev/singing.htm

There's a large avi in the middle of the page.
All I have is plug-in content.
I'm using vista HP

What I'd like to do is enable the preview in adobe golive 9 for windows. This
preview has been a problem for the past few versions. gl9 sends me to operas
plugin's page. I installed opera hoping this would fix the plugin's problem with
GL. All it's done is duplicate the plugin's problem with opera.

I don't care what views it. WMP is not an absolute.

The Windows Media Player plugin doesn't get associated with AVI files (on  
my system at least), so there is simply no plugin installed on my system  
that can handle avi files. I get the same result in Internet Explorer 7  
and Firefox 2 BTW. AVIs are not suitable for embedded content, as far as I  
know.

Me neither. But Opera doesn't do media files, so *some* browser plugin you  
have installed will have to support AVI. If not, the file can't be shown.

I have a dozen 3rd parties that can view an avi. ie: Apples program, Nero,
Iview, Photoshop, the list goes on endlessly.

Opera is just a means to an end. No one can tell me how to view AVI's in preview
mode in Golive from 6-9. At 6, it went off track. And hasn't returned.
Everyone has the problem, and not one solution. Other than make sure the AVI
plugin is in your OPERA plugin's directory. The opera plugin's directory existed
on my machine long before Opera did. With 9, someone said get the opera plugin.
I got Opera and figured it HAD the AVI plugin in it. It didn't. And I still
can't preview an AVI in Golive and version from 6-9.
