Netscape and the QuickTime plug-in

Dear Web4Lib folk--
I'm having a Star Wars Emergency: my patrons can't access
the QuickTime trailers from starwars.com. The error message
says, "The Plug-In could not load QuickTime for Windows," and
invites me to get QuickTime. I'd already had QuickTime 3, and
I upgraded to QuickTime 4 to no avail.
This is with Netscape Navigator browser only, version 4.07.
The only security tweaking I've done is to set the bookmarks
and prefs.js to read-only. (I didn't undo that when I upgraded
from 4.04; could that pose a problem?).
My entire reputation as a competent systems librarian rests
not on seemless access to a universe of authoritative data,
but on whether I can get six computers to play the Star
Wars trailers.
Trying to suppress the urge to declare, "You're my only hope,"
I remain your humble and obedient servant,
