deuces wild Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 My machine is running WinXP, SP2 with updates.My problem: I can view videos when using Quicktime. However, when I try to run other videos they will not run and I normally have to reboot.Examples:I cannot run the "tequila commercial' videos at this site: http://dorks.com/I can run the "fat kid" and 'magic stop watch" videos at this site: http://dailysixer.com/Any clues?TIA!

deuces wild Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The problem is not with Quicktime. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 The problem is not with Quicktime.I use Media Player Classic and your links work okay for me http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Vi...r-Win2kXP.shtmlI also use Real Alternative http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htmI'm not sure whether installing one or both may help?

andsome Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I did away with Real Player and Quicktime, and downloaded the alternatives to both. They are far smaller programs and are not invasive like the originals. All those videos work perfectly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 It worked for me in media player, and the moral of the story is don't stick your head in holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I cannot run the "tequila commercial' videos at this site: http://dorks.com/What browser do you use?Have you tried downloading the video as opposed to just playing it?I have found that in some cases this works for me.

deuces wild Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I use FireFox. I click on the link when I try to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I use FireFox. I click on the link when I try to play it.I also use Firefox.Have you tried right-clicking on the video file and selecting 'save link as...' ?Chris sometimes sends me a Quicktime file and if I just click on it, it either freezes Firefox or crashes it but saving it to my hard drive first almost always solves the problem for me.In this case, I can play the video files just by clicking on them without needing to download them so I can't understand why they will play on my PC and not on yours?
