slpugin.exe

[Gema Grantly]

What is slplugin.exe? I get the message that it isn't working and windows shuts it down. I believe the only think it affects is that I cannot watch the movies etc on the  media screen I have in my sl house, which I want to do.

That's exactly what slplugin.exe does.  Under normal circumstances, you may have several copies running at a time.  When the plugin is not working, it's often because it is being blocked by your firewall or anti-virus program. Some of those programs are more aggressive and overprotective than others.  Look at these two sites to see how to teach your software to play nicely with slplugin.exe:

That ought to solve the problem for you. If it doesn't, you may need to do a Clean Reinstall of the current SL viewer.  The current viewer has introduced the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) for dealing with media issues, which is supposed to be much more trouble free than previous versions.
