Hi Andreas,

The following page is my "help>about plugins".

Installed plug-ins
Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com 
<http://home.netscape.com/plugins/index.html>.

rpnp.so

   File name: rpnp.so

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin 	RealPlayer Plugin Metafile 	rpm 	Yes

Default Plugin

   File name: libnullplugin.so
   The default plugin handles plugin data for mimetypes and extensions
   that are not specified and facilitates downloading of new plugins.

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
* 	All types 	.* 	Yes

Shockwave Flash

   File name: libflashplayer.so
   Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl 	Yes


The required plugin is present but it cannot be used.

Thank you for your help!
