iWeb 1.0 (#2): Repeated crashes -- try removing Flip4Mac
Users continue to report persistent crashes from iWeb 1.0, particularly when attempting to use the media browser.

"Both iWeb and Garageband crash on me extremely frequently as well. I have a Dual 2.5 G5 with 4.5 GB of RAM. I can't work for 20 minutes in iWeb without it crashing and giving me the 'reopen' dialog box.
In many cases, this issue can be resolved by uninstalling Flip4Mac -- a set of components designed to added Windows Media file compatibility to QuickTime.
Flip4Mac can be uninstalled by deleting the following files:
- Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
- Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin
- Macintosh HD/Library/QuickTime/Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
- Macintosh HD/Library/QuickTime/Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
- Macintosh HD/Library/PreferencePanes/WmvPlayer.prefPanel
- Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/Flip4Mac WMV Import Installer.pkg
- Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/Flip4Mac WMV Export Installer.pkg
