findlay95 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 On most websites, when I click on a playable video, nothing happens. Sometimes it says "done" in the left of the bottom task bar, but there is usually a blank window where the video is supposed to be. This occurs in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. I have XP Home, on a Toshiba laptop. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is playing videos directly from the internet sites. Is this also for direct streaming video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
