If you have IE 5.5 sp2 or IE 6 Public Preview, there's ANOTHER
screw up to deal with. This link explains why IE no longer supports Netscape Plug-ins & a fix for that silliness.

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/tutorials/activex.html

This from the IE6 site:
Netscape-style plug-ins are not supported on Internet Explorer 6 (ref: KB article: Q303401 ). Internet Explorer 6 still supports the Netscape Embed tag, which enables you to use components that achieve the same functionality as when they were built as Netscape-style plug-ins, but that are now built on ActiveX® technologies. If you want to continue to use existing Netscape-style plug-ins on Internet Explorer 6 you should:

Contact the manufacturer of your Netscape-style plug-in to inquire whether the manufacturer has a version of the component available that is built on ActiveX technologies.
Rewrite existing Netscape-style plug-ins using ActiveX (or dual author to support both Netscape-style plug-ins and ActiveX controls).

Stuff like that is precisely why I have protested IE6 ever since its inception into beta. It is pure evil!
