Ways I've seen to achieve such a symptom would include but are not limited to:


--  the OBJECT tag's CODEBASE argument is set to something odd


--  the IE/Win browser is damaged and physically unable to install ActiveX

Controls


--  sometimes JavaScript can be written to specifically demand an old

player (scripting error)



The one-or-all pages test could help... if they can visit other sites

normally in that browser, but only fail on this one site, then that could

focus attention on the HTML in the page. (Conversely, the one-or-all

browsers test could help validate the current HTML page... got URL?)
