What are Plug-Ins?

Plug-ins are small applications that give your browser extra capabilities, such as playback of audio or video files, 2-D or 3-D animation, and so on. When you try to view or hear a file that requires a plug-in, like a movie or sound clip, the necessary plug-in launches automatically if you already have it. Current browsers come prepackaged with the most popular plug-ins (some are listed below), but if you don't have the plug-in you need, you can download it from the developer's site. Plug-ins are generally free, though some offer advanced features for an extra fee. If you download and install a plug-in but find that you still can't view the desired files, quit the browser and reopen it. Some older browsers require you to quit the program in order to fully install a plug-in. Here are some of the plug-ins you'll find on this site:

• Windows Media Player
• QuickTime
