Guest Tom Willett Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: Cant play flash from sites 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?

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.

You can download a free player here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(DTS) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
