Browser Crashing Marathon!

Need Help!!!!

Ok, I'm at my wits end and can't think of what to do next. This PBS program I want to watch so badly it forced me to donwload realplayer, but even that was not helping.

Seems to work according to one other person I asked to test it out, so it's not an issue with the server.

I've tried IE6, Firefox (latest) and Opera, and all but Opera crashed, but Opera has it's own set of problems. For instance, It will shy away from playing media files like quicktime, saying some BS about how I don't have quicktime installed -- which I do, obviously.

Here is the site, please confirm that it works and possibly suggest a solution.

I'm using internet explorer. When I try to watch one of the videos using quicktime it crashes. When I try using realplayer I get an error saying "Currently autoupdate has no plug-in available to play your selection". I don't have any problems using windows media player, quicktime, or realplayer on other sites so I assume there is something wrong with the pbs site and it's not your computer.

There's a separate Quicktime plugin for Opera that you need to set up manually. This is what you need right here.

Good God! That particular page on PBS is pandemic. I just copied the file you prescribed over to the Opera plugin; overwritting what I thought was perhaps a bad file. Well, after I did as the Opera page you sent me instructed, damn Opera crashed!

I don't know what's going on, but seeing I won't be seeing that documentary online.
