Hi oldtrucker, Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

Oh dear, Norton still doing one of its old tricks and blocking something I am afraid. Similar happened to me many years ago with a pdf file blocked in the help section of a program. I didn't even know it was there till I removed Norton in favour of a different firewall and antivirus.

 

I don't have Norton so I can only guess, but it must be somewhere in the blocked list, but what you are looking for is a block against any part of Adobe Flash player I would think.

 

Nev.

This is a bit unfair !

 

Nev said he wasn't using Norton 2012 and suggested:

Did you check the settings?

sorry Nev did not mean any harm, was just the way we Jocks are,DRY,LOL

Have you paid for Norton 2012 - or is it a trial installation ?

 

If it is a trial - I would uninstall and put on MS Essentials or Avira ( both free )

None of us here use a paid for AV - there are some excellent free ones available.

 

1. Did you check to see if there was a setting that you could alter?

 

2. Is it ALL web-based video or a specific site ?

[oldtrucker]

yes Ken paid £19 99 and have checkd settings there was only one bit that was about full screen so i turned it off [stiil getting nothing but a big white screen] Edited September 26, 2011 by oldtrucker

[oldtrucker]

yes its all web based windows player works ok on full screen

[KenB]

Start > Control Panel

 

1- In your Internet Explorer Options > Advanced ......... are your Java applets enabled?

 

2- Still in your IE Options, Security > Customize, ........are your Java scripts enabled?

 

Launch IE

 

3- In Tools > Manage Add-ons ....... check if Java / Shockwave / Flash are enabled.

 

You may need to click on the down arrow to view "Add-ons that run without requiring permission"
