  After a little assistance, all day I have been getting a drop down banner stating an additional plug-in is required to display some elements on this page. This is both on Chrome and Comodo Dragon.

  Have repletely clicked on the install plug-in button, keeps coming back.

  Have tryied the problems installing route and get the following

   

  Windows Media Player and Java

  If you allow websites to use plug-ins and the browser detects that you're missing a plug-in for a particular site, it'll prompt you to install the plug-in at the top of the webpage. Here's more information about installing Windows Media Player and Java plug-ins. Learn more about managing plug-ins

  Windows Media Player

  If a page simply links to Windows media files (e.g. .asf or .asx files), you might not see a prompt to download the Windows Media Player plug-in. In that case, follow these instructions to get the plug-in:

  Windows instructions

  1. Visit http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx 
  2. Click Download Now.
  3. Click Save for the file in the downloads bar to confirm that you want to download the file. Don't worry -- saving the file won't harm your computer. Learn more about downloading files in Google Chrome.
  4. Open the set-up file.
  5. Click Run to start the Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard to finish installing the plugin.
  6. Restart Google Chrome.

  Mac instructions

  Test whether the Windows Media Player plug-in is successfully installed 

  Java

  Windows instructions

  1. Visit http://java.com/en/download/chrome.jsp  to download Java version 6, update 11 or higher.
  2. Click Agree and Start Free Download to save the set-up file to your computer.
  3. Click Save for the file in the downloads bar to confirm that you want to download the file. Don't worry -- saving the file won't harm your computer. Learn more about downloading files in Google Chrome.
  4. Open the set-up file. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish installing Java.

  Mac instructions

  Test whether the Java plug-in is successfully installed 

  I have done the above, and cursed a couple of times, but still it comes back. Have tested both down loads and they work

  Any ideas?

  Thanks Kindle

  I agree......Sounds like a virus to me. You should run a virus scan of your system and see what you come up with.

  so have run scans, no virus's detected, decieded to uninstall both chroem and comodo, did so, reinstalled, and hey still getting the message. Ironically, dont get it on IE9 for some reason.

  Also for some reason if I open another tab first, ie Amazon, then open WGT, only get the plug in drop down on the first tab.

  Is this game related or is it just involving the ads? Can you play normally?

  If it's ad related I wouldn't worry about fixing it unless you really want to see the ad.
