Cannot Play Videos

Forget IE completely and switch to Firefox or Opera.

As soon as I hit the submit button, realize I forgot to mention this.

IE6 was the one that was buggy. So much so, that when IE7 fixed a lot of those bugs, it ended up breaking a lot of sites that were written in such a way to assume that those bugs would be there. Pop over to the web development forums some time, and you shouldn't have a hard time finding someone willing to vent for a few pages about the frustration of trying to write pages for IE6 that will also work in other browsers.

Don't blame IE7... Blame Microsoft for intentionally making IE6 render things differently to try and get people to write sites that would only work in IE. Blame Microsoft for letting IE6 rot for 5 years or so, with only updates to fix security flaws, and not a single update to add support for new web standards. Blame web developers who wrote pages that rely on IE bugs to work. Blame those deserving of blame.

Any other suggestions on how to fix this problem? I too have the problem, among many.
Thanks

I tried everything previous messages suggested, all to no avail. After awhile the problem became more than just video's. My computer went completely whachco. I finally resorted to HP system recovery. You can order the disk. There are two actions that can be taken. One, you lose everything, the other you retain all data files. I am no computer expert so I held my breath as I did this. Lo and behold my computer is restored to manufacture status, and all my pictures and tunes were saved. You have to reinstall some programs that were installed after purchase.

while your at it, blame Microsoft for making a browser that is securable against every piece of malware out there there is. Ever heard of GPEDIT? Whitelisting? Blacklisting?

Man, I used to be a Firefox fanboy in my earlier days before I opened my eyes and started learning. IE may not be the best in browsing quality but its not half as buggy as its made out to be, and is securable beyond belief. Learn how to use GPEDIT.

I have unistalled and reinstalled adobe flash player for the XP and it works sometimes and then just stop working then I go back and repeat the steps again and it wont work I keep getting the red X in the box.
