I find it passing strange that Microsoft hasn't come up with a solution for
this problem, given the number of posts regarding it.

I spend less time on MSN and more on Yahoo (where the videos play just fine)
because of this. You'd think MS would like to keep us on MSN ... .

Hi... I am experiencing exactly the same problem.

Has anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks

Have exact same problem except with NIS 2004. MSN video plays fine on my
other (work) computer. MSN Video support ran me through a bunch of stuff
which didn't help. Somehow, I turned on a show errors on page option in IE
and get the following when msnvideo.msn.com/video comes up:

Line: 196
Char: 178
Error: Expected '}'
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo...

Line: 1
Char: 800
Error: 'Playlist' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo

Error: 1
Line: 1
Error: 'oPlaylist' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo...

At this point the page is up. If I click on any video clip, I get:

Line: 5
Char: 34
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo...

When I mouse over the forward and back buttons around the empty playlist
or any of the other playback control buttons, I get this twice:

Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: msnvideo...

What does this suggest?

When I click on a video on MSN, the video window opens but nothing is
displayed. Clicking on one of the thumbnails for another video story
and
then clicking on 'Play' or 'Add' also produces no result - no error
message,
just nothing happens.

The same thing happens whether I try from the main MSN page or the 'My
MSN'
page.

I've installed Microsoft .NET 1.1, with the same result.

IE 6 SP1, WinXP SP1, with all critical updates for IE and Win
installed.
Norton Internet Security 2003, but the problem occurs even if NIS is
disabled.

Do you have to have the MSN-specific version of IE to view MSN video?

Thanks.
