Hi,
I am now stuck up with this problem for long. I cannot play streaming online
videos on sites such as CNN. Weirdly the browsers play archived video on CNN
but cannot play live videos. Similarly I can play all videos on You Tube as
is, but cannot play any live streaming videos on for example movie sites. I
have tried and tried but failed with every option. I have installed/repaired
WMP 11 plugin for firefox multiple times. Installed marcomedia and adobe
flash players. Installed Divx player. Tried managing add-ons. Disabled
windows firewall, disabled norton protection center and so on....
But NONE worked. I was so frustrated with Vista that I finally planned to
partition the hard-disk and get XP installed on one. But the Disk manager or
the diskpart utility also show no space for creating an extra partition.
I read many similar posts here but found could not find a specific answer.
Some posts suggested a bug in IE7 but then at least firefox should have
worked properly. But even that does not.
Please please calling on all experts / users to help me on this.
Please let me know if any bug has been reported by MS on this
Thank you all in advance

Hi,
Have you tried the Firefox message boards or newsgroups?
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/support/
Does the same problem occur when using IE7?

Possible solutions if the problem occurs with IE7.

You might try Internet Options> Security> Internet Zone> uncheck 'Enable
Protected Mode." If that helps, placing the individual sites in Trusted
Sites should allow you to re-enable Protected Mode.

Next, not recommended that you run with UAC disabled, but go to Control
Panel> User Accounts> Turn User Account Control on or off. See if disabling
UAC allows these videos to play.

Hope this helps,
Don

Can you give a specific link to an example site that you can't get to work?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I tried turning off protection mode and turning on
User account control but none of it helped. The videos still wont play.

I have not tried putting query on the Mozilla support groups.

But while trying these options I noted that IE7 does not play any online video
whereas Mozilla did play some of them. So with IE7 I tried playing You-Tube
videos and I got the message:

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of
Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."

But when I tried to get the latest flash player using the link provided the
Adobe site does not run installation. The page is displayed properly but on
the top it displays a line mentioning following:
"You may not have everything you need to view certain sections of Adobe.com.
Please see our site requirements."
Now if I click the requirements link the page goes blank.

But anyway on firefox I can see all you tube videos but none of the live
videos as said earlier.
One such site where I cannot watch live videos is:
http://edition.cnn.com/video/
(Live Video link on above site)

Meanwhile I will keep trying to install the latest adobe flash player on
IE7 as specified by you tube, but I am sure this still wont solve the
original problem of streaming videos not playing.
Thanks.

Hi,
My problem is similar, so I will piggyback my question here.
I'm using WinXP and IE ver 7 and logged-in as Limited User on my PC.
Had problem only for 2 days since yesterday. My regular video streaming news
sites close the IE browser after a pop-up msg. However, no such problem when
I log in as Administrator. I have no problem with Youtube or the CNN site
listed below.

The problem site of mine is at
http://news.kbs.co.kr/asx/news_playe...Away8yMC5hc2Y=

I don't know what had changed 2 days ago to cause this problem.

Any advice for me ?

Thx.

Hi,
The original problem never got resolved. I have quit trying anything new on
that. But your problem is different since it is XP + IE7 and not Vista + IE7.
Hence I suggest you post your question to a new thread and it might help.

Hi all, was this ever resolved?

I am having the same problem IE7 + Vista and the same with FireFox +
Vista. By the way, I have it IE7 working fine with XP.

Thanks

hugh

Has anyone figured this out yet. I'm having the same problem from the Korean
news site. It worked fine until a month or two ago and after 4 complete
restores on my laptop I'm still having issues. I tried reinstalling from
scratch and trying to view it in IE6 and still have the same problem. Weird
thing is, it works fine on my desktop and my work machine. I only have this
issue on m laptop. I've tried everything and nothing seems to work. I used
to get out of memory error at line 700. I've looked at the error and it says
something like access denied at 0.
