I have never heard of the MPC plugin. You must mean one for Firefox. I
have looked on the Mozilla site, Google, and the PluginDoc site, without
success. I do have the GBM plugin, but that does not seem to apply.
According to the about:plugins I had "Innotek OS/2 Kit for Acrobat
Reader 4.05". I deleted nparos2.dll and pluginreg.dat, but I get the
same results.
I must confess that I don't know how Lucide is getting loaded at the moment.
So, where does one find this MPC plugin??????????
Also, is there a repository for plugins for Lucide? The eCS Betazone
mentions plugins under the Lucide project, but I can't find a source
other than those distributed with Lucide.
