What do you mean windows media player plug-in? Do you mean that it's a .wmv video file? Either way, I think it depends whether Opera has that plug-in installed or not to stream videos online for you. What is the extension of that video file? Or if it's flash, you will need the flash plug-in.

Well, do you have the latest Windows Media Player and Opera? If not, which versions are they. Making sure you have the latest, WMP 10 and opera would ensure the best results. Here is a link to help you put the plug in on opera for viewing .wmv files.

Do you see the windows media app on the page at all? If you don't, you will need to install the plugin above. If you do, do you have IE? Does it work in IE or any other browsers that you have.

i see a little message in the corner that says windows media plug in or something and it works in IE

Have you tried the opera plugin I gave you earlier? If not, I'm not totally sure because I don't use Opera; you might have to go to the Opera community forum or wait and see if anyone here uses Opera on a daily basis and can tell you.
