Seasons Greetings Ten-Four Team & Users!

10-4 crew, infinite thanks for your hard work keeping the flame alive and my dad's fave "egg" e-Mac useful!

Please forgive me if this posted the wrong topic but I found no others as appropriate. Simply put, after massive tiring Googling & ASKing, I am no closer a fix for my heirloom G4-eMac. When I attempt to access streaming video from sites as MSN or Fox or TCT, the videos screens stay blank while Safari manages to dismay them tolerably well -- not complaining about something that works! According to Firefox 3.6.4, I have installed on the e-Mac QT Plugin 7.6.4 and Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64, Java 1.3,1, Java Embed Plugin 0.9.7.3.

Any assistance would much gratified!

    Hello, have a look at this:

    If the website uses Flash (I checked Fox and it does), and there's no HTML5 alternative, you'll probably have to use Safari. Urgent security advice: Go to Safari's Preferences>Security and disable Java before using it for anything.
