Win XP Pro with IE7 not allowing for video playback from Web

July 17, 2008

My laptop features are; winXP pro, SP3, intell Core 2, with 2.49GB of Ram and

I use ie7. I do have other browsers installed on my laptop, such as Mozilla

F.Fox and Safari from Apple. Lately ie7 has not been working for watching web

video's, from youTube, or Yahoo, or MSN. I receive an error message that says

"need to update your flash player", so I've dowoloaded the latest flash

player [ver.9] as well as latest shockwave player and I also made sure to get

the latest updates from Microsoft, adobe, and updated the java program to the

latest version as well. But still the video's just won't play using ie7. The

same videos work just fine using Fire fox or Safari. Any help or suggestions

would be appreciated.
