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.

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 ?

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 :twisted:

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.

:cheers: 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 :cry:

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?

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 :cry:
