Intel (R) Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz 4GB RAM, 750 GB HD System type : 64-bit operating system and (external hard drives) Seagate Backup Plus 1(TB) 2.5 USB Portable HD WD BLACK SERIES WD2003FZEX 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive My question is that when ever I go to Fox News the video's are staggered instead of just playing all the way through it keeps cycling http://www.foxnews.com/ and many times it just locks up or goes into some sort of loop? Also backspacing is useless. I have no problems like this with any other site e.g. MSN or Yahoo so it Fox ? I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Just curious, because I like to read all the news and it's kinda of hard to do on Fox. Thanks, Robert |

Chrome has the closed source Google side, as well as the "Chromium" open-source version. The people in this case, take Chromium and modify it a tiny bit. As the article explains, to not a great effect. It's not really materially better. It just presets some things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRWare_Iron http://www.srware.net/en/software_sr...n_download.php Datum: 03.05.2017 Version: 58.0.3050.0 http://www.srware.net/downloads/srware_iron.exe (A person visiting with a WinXP machine will receive version 49) Once installed, if you go to this page, all the media tests should be "tick marked". That means as far as Youtube is concerned, Iron has a working set of HTML5 video features. https://www.youtube.com/html5 The Chrome family of browsers used PepperFlash. This is "PPAPI" rather than the "NPAPI" that Firefox Flash uses. NPAPI can be auto-updated by Adobe, or manually updated by the user. Google Chrome has a Google version of Flash built in. As far as I know, Google takes care of updating the PPAPI Flash plugin in Chrome. On SRWare Iron, the Flash can be manually operated. You go here, to get Flash to use with Iron browser. https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: "Windows 7/Vista/XP" Step 2: "FP 25 for Opera and Chromium - PPAPI" In the middle column, untick the optional offer!!! Adobe bundles adware, unless you untick stuff. Then go to the yellow-orange "Download now" button. I'm offered "flashplayer25pp_ga_install.exe". That's an approximately 1MB downloader stub, which will deliver a 20MB flash plugin when you execute it. It's also possible to get the file directly. I haven't tested that this is the same file, as the stub download program would have delivered. https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/fla...ayer_ppapi.exe You run that, after Iron is installed. Then in Iron, enter this URL and verify the Flash version it is using. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ Then go test Foxnews again. Paul |

Sadly, Chrome is the only browser I'm aware of that does (on Windows XP). FF and Chromium do not.

The video auto-played. So yes, I was able to view a video on the first page. When it comes to commercial sites, the "wrapper" around the video makes all the difference. But in terms of supporting basic capabilities, it's the best browser I've got for video. When stuff won't play on the others, that's the *only* time I run Iron. Iron is only for "tough video problems". It's not my everyday surf machine. Paul |

Paul I always thought Chrome was bad but as you say it's been tweeked but seems allot to do just to read the news on one site and you know my history. If it isn't broken ,.... *L* Robert |

I don't know if it has anything to
do with the problem but the last day or so I keep getting this message when trying to contact Outlook/Hotmail. http://i63.tinypic.com/2e3vjpj.jpg However, I can log onto Outlook via Explorer. I also looked at Fox News and MSN and 'seemed' better although it didn't have the usual stories on the side on Fox News. Thoughts/suggestions? Robert |

Robert For some reason, I'm not able to view the tinypic link above. ******* I can show you a sample of Foxnews, as viewed from Canada. By geolocation, they will show me different articles and advertising than you will see. But at least if your browser is currently hijacked, the format in my picture may represent what you're used to. https://s29.postimg.org/kjqeugvrr/fox_sample.jpg Near the four red squares at the bottom in the "Market" section, is a video window on the right. And at the moment, that video window was autoplaying. There was no sound. The other video windows just presented static images. Paul |

Here you go :
https://s7.postimg.org/tgo0qsc8n/image.jpg In any case I'm able to login again and the News is OK again. Your Fox News looks like mine on FF but not on Explorer https://s23.postimg.org/lzfj4e4tz/14_Fox.jpg As you can see it's missing the stories on the right hand side. Robert |

Robert When I upload a photo to the postimg page, I use the "two browser method". In one browser, I do the upload and get the link from the copy/paste region at the bottom of the page. In the second browser, I paste the link, then verify I got the right piece of stuff copied. As it's very easy to copy a "thumbnail", instead of a full sized image. Paul |

That's how I did it I thought?
You've seen all my other screen shots and they didn't have any issues and I didn't do anything different this time. I used Tinypic I spoke too soon,. Fox on FF is again cycling and stopping/starting during the broadcast. Same as before. Robert |
