I am not sure where to ask re this so please answer or direct me.
I am using Windows XP with media player as installed. Running explorer 8. When I access Thomsons (or Lunn Poly) holiday sites and try to see their video of a resort I cannot get a picture. I have a square with a small rectangular square in the top left corner; I can click this but nothing happens although sometimes I get sound but no picture. I can view their photographs and maps but not the video. I have tried with media player open and also tried dragging the square into media window but no joy. Any ideas? Thank you. |

Hello Stewart: To be much more certain, you probably should have posted the URL you're dealing with. If you haven't installed Adobe's latest Flash Player, to go with your Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), you won't be able to "see" any "flash" based presentations. You'll need Flash Player 10.0.12.36(IE) (or better) for your Internet security. http://www.adobe.com/ -- 1PW @?6A62?FEH9E=6o2@=]4@ [r4o7t] |

It's often a good idea to have another browser installed at least for diagnostic purposes, and Firefox is a popular choice. And you will want to add the plug-ins used at various sites, such as Flash.

Thank you both. As suggested I have now installed the latest Adobe Flash
Player but that has not helped. When I go to Thomsons main site I can view their videos of cruises etc and in fact until I intsalled the update this week of Internet Explorer 8 I think I could view from any of their sites. I have included below the site I went to (I know it has a long title but that is it) so may be you could have a look and see if you can watch the video. I am still getting a black box in the top left corner and when I check on its properties I see http://easylink.playstream.com/tuiuk...00/523/941.wvx and from there I can view the video however that should not be necessary; I do get the sound when I left click but no view. Any more ideas? Thanks again Here is the site:- http://www.thomson.co.uk/thomson/pag...79032000003724 "1PW" wrote in message ...

I believe there's a specific forum for IE8 testers. |

Rob, strangely they open in my laptop with media player as you say but not
in my desk top. Both computers are set up with same programmes etc. There must be something in the desk top that is blocking it. Thank you. "robgraham" wrote in message ... When I trtied this it opened up Windows Media Player and the results were fine. Rob Graham |
