Videos Dont Play

at most websites, videos just dont work

one that is particularly annoying is at gamespot.com


none of the videos work!
it says `ready` but nothing happens

i also have the latest version of windows media player and i tried watching videos on both Netscape and Firefox browsers.


can somebody help me please?

lmao

 

ya my computer does the same thing, and master pressing play doesnt do anything it still just says ready

 

Um re-install windows media player see if that helps. Lol i'm not a comp person but that works for me

 

have you tried IE? make sure you have all the plugins you need installed for firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/plugins/

 

red, never in a million years suggest using IE.

It must be a plugin you need..

 

ie7 isn't bad...

i don't trust WM11

try setting it to use quicktime, winamp, real1 prtty much anythign else...


just me though.

 

xelink: there is no setting for using winamp or quicktime for some videos,

i switched to Windows Media 10

XMasterX: i installed the plug in, and i tried pressing play lol

Red Alert: my IE does not load (i talked about it in another topic in this section)

The Disco Biscuit: i tried re installing windows media player

 

did you restart firefox since you loaded the plugin?

 

I know IE is crappy but just wanna know if it would play just trying to narrow the problem down

 

IE dosent work for me

i must have restarted FF about a dozen times

 

Yep GS huh? same with me but its your PC then. I cleaned it out because of a "virus" you might have that most likely because first it doesn't play movies and then it might get worse. sooner or later i couldn't open some windows on the web page. :huh: so i rebooted clean and after worked fine

 

I do not know of any virus that stops you from watching videos...

but in all cases, it could be..

GS?
