All CNET's videos, Buzz Reports, Buzz out Loud Hang

Nov 30, 2010 11:29PM PST

Hi, All my CNET services and applications work properly
except I am unable to play any videos/buzz reports.
The videos do not download the message says "loading".
It just hangs.
I can play all other videos from all other sources, ie.
NY times, BBC, Yahoo etc. with no problem.
I typically disable all 3rd party cookies so if I need to enable a particular one I don't know which one to enable.Any cookie that says CNET is enabled.
Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, IE8, Symantec Endpoint,
Intel core two Duo T7700, 2.4 GHz 4Gb Ram, Adobe reader X and Adobe Flash 10 on a Lenovo T61p Laptop with High Speed Broadband.
Thanks,
Jim

I have no issues. But that ULTIMATE 7 version makes me wonder if this is that cracked version going around that is causing lots of troubles. If not, even installing Windows 7 is far from intuitive and has me writing long passages about drivers.

CNET TV Hangs.

Just for clarification, My Win7 Ultimate x64 is a clean install from a full retail copy, not an upgrade.
Also I am able to view CNET Dojo videos just fine.
I only have problems when I want to watch CNET TV.

"a clean install"
Dec 1, 2010 4:15AM PST

I've found such to tax new to Windows users. That is, time after time I find folk unaware we still have to do all our homework about drivers from motherboards to everything like that Intel Storage Matrix software which is not a driver but can affect operation.

Most makes will not give you a step by step clean install but not much has changed in 2 decades of Windows.
