Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need PC help, fixed it, DUHHHHHHHHHHHH

Posted: 4/11/2006 4:26:06 PM EDT

I needed to watch a planning and zoning meeting today when I noticed my PC was FUBAR'd.

Problem:

I cannot play video links directly from my PC. They show up as an X, if I right click save as, it'll work, but I cannot directly click on the link to view the video.

Please help.

what web browser are you using
what type of video file are you trying to view?

IE, WMV

I'd guess:

ActiveX problems (not allowing inline video control)
MS media player configuration problem

IS it just one site or every site? Have you tried video on some places like 'that video site' or youtube.com etc etc?

It's every site, live streaming video as well.

Do I download active X? I'm not quite up to speed on what to do.

activex would already be installed on your system. Most likely it's set to default (on) in IE if you've never changed it.

Honestly, the easiest thing to try for a fix would be to download a free copy of opera and see if you can get that to work. Either way it would help to narrow down the problem.

BTW, what version of WMP are you using?
