Give one of the URLs as an example. Explain what "a Q come up" means.

You say you can't play flash from sites. Now you are talking about

quicktime. Do you have it installed?

 

What browser are you using?

OK, I went to that site but I can't attempt to play any of the videos

without signing up and I'm certainly not going to do that. So here are

some suggestions:

 

1. Go to Add/Remove Programs and see if there are any entries for Java

other than JRE 6u2. If there are, uninstall them. Install JRE 6u2 from here:

 

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

 

2. Go to http://www.apple.com and download/install the latest version of QuickTime.

 

3. I would have to know what format the streaming video is which you

can't view. Look on that particular website for requirements and

download whatever you need.

 

4. The website you gave me uses a lot of Javascript (not Java) also.

Perhaps if you are using IE7 to view these things there are some

security settings preventing you from doing what you like. If you are

using IE7, you can ask questions about it here:

 

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

5. You can also try with a different browser. Firefox is excellent. Get

it at http://www.mozilla.com. You will need to download the Flash plugin for it

but when you go to a page needing it there will be a link so you don't

need to do this separately.

Quicktime is not Flash, it's completely different and needs a separate

player. You can download a free player here:

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
