Video Highlights

Thank you oh great one ................. that worked perfectly

[Setanta]

Thanks a lot; listened on the radio and was as downhearted as anyone but I honestly believe its not that far off clicking on the playing front. Some dodgy, dodgy decisions. Have to say watched munster on Saturday - very impressive, they simply played round , through and over the dodgy decisions. Long-term for us the size of the ground and the investments are critical.

Thank you oh great one ................. that worked perfectly

What worked, the video link or the popup blocker ?

[goodaine]

The link you gave ............... got rid of pop ups for this site but still couldn't play either on broadband or dial up .... don't know what I'm doing wrong

[Rooster]

If you are using Internet Explorer it may be blocking Active X controls, check for popup bar at top of page, have you ever watched videos before on same pc ?

[goodaine]

Now you mention it ..... no don't think so ........... will try through foxie now and see if that works

[goodaine]

Telling me in foxie that additional plugins are required ...... i thought initially in explorere that i didn't have media player installed but it told me i did ................ ah don't worry ............ will figure something out .......

[Rooster]

Install the Firefox plugin, videos originally designed to work in Firefox anyway, check out this page http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Usi ... _installed and install from link or direct from http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows ... nload.aspx that will sort your problem I hope, the IE problem is the Active X control is being blocked I will tell you how to fix that as well if required.
Can't give up now as it took a couple of months to sort Colzo, then he discovered he had site popups blocked

[goodaine]

Would it be because I have adobe media player?????

[Rooster]

You need windows media player installed for them to work and it set to be default player for .wmv files
Open Windows media player, tools , options, File types, then make sure there is a tick in the Windows Media Audio File (wma) and Windows Media Video File (wmv) boxes and hit apply.
That will leave whatever you use to listen/watch other files as is at present.

Once i downloaded that in foxie works perfectly ..................... thank you oh great chicken legs

[Rooster]

probably the Active X control blocked in IE then is the answer, they work better in Firefox anywayand stay the size they were made, IE stretches the dialup versions .

I can't see the videos any more on the highlights page

Used to be able to, but once my laptop had to be brought back from the dead, I haven't been able to get them to work. Just get the box with the red X. I already had WMP, but installed the latest version to see if that would help, but no joy.

Any suggestions?

[fermain]

follow the earlier advice on the thread

[Gemma]

Most of the earlier stuff seems to be related to Firefox, which I've never used. I've only got IE on my laptop, and downloaded WMP, but it still isn't working
