npdsplay Cannot Create Directshow Player

What is the reason for the error?

Standard WMP plugin (npdsplay.dll) is no longer being supported because of a security flaw and also Windows Vista and some versions of Windows XP do not include the standard WMP plugin. Microsoft has developed a new Window Media player plugin to address this issue.So we have to install it manually to see videos that require Windows Media Player Plugin.You can use the below plugin for Firefox to solve this problem.

2.Close your all browser windows.
