Has anyone else been able to view any of these links??

No matter which Link I click on, Video or Quicktime, it starts to load and the I get a dialogue box pop-up to say "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and will have to close,,Yada, yada"...........



Cochise,

 

Hi
I watched video without any problem(XPSP2,IE6)
cant confirm Quicktime coz I dont have it installed on my system

 

Hi hadi,


Mmmm.....Strange eh?....neither work for me.....has anyone else had problems with this......I haven't seen anybody comment on the films yet either...seems like plenty of views but no comments.........



Cochise,

 

Am I the only one who can't view this without getting an error message in IE?......



Cochise,

 

depends if you still have that worm on your puter Coch'

 

Same problem here with any browser I try.*seems to work with Real.(not yet playing though) * edit - getting time outs.

 

What?..errrr...What Worm? (Look of horror on face)Show me it...Show me it...I do not think I have ze snake in ze grass.....show me how to kill ze snake in ze grass...


Cocobrachise,

 

Here's what I'd do............


.....




Then, click "YES"




Works everytime!!





Glad I could be of some help!

​

 

AAAAAhhhhhhh! Beetleboss....your like a breath of fresh air me Darlin'.....you seperate sense from chaos......albeit from a nieve perspective....what would this World be like without people like you who see things for what they are....Long Live BeetleBoss...........Save me from the CHAOS THEORY........


Confusedchise,

 

Hey it could happen!! LOL!

 

I wanted to watch it too, now I have dsl!! Yea!! Maybe tonite I can!! Yea!!!

Thanks for the link, hadi, I will see it one way or another! Cochise! does you smoke screen show anything yet?

 

I can't see a dicky Marja as yet...........I think I may sink into a deep deep sulk unless some kind person comes to my aid......I have ADSL, I have XP, I have whats required to see this stuff, so whats going on here.........could it possibly be something I've said that's annoyed the 'Puter Watchthis Gods'...would saying ten 'Hail Mary Downloads' help.........



Cochise,

 

If I figure it out I will let you know, Cochise! In the meantime, those ten Hail Mary Downloads, wouldnt hurt!!

 

Cochise, your problem's been documented before:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9171842

QT 6.5 Pro fails for me too, but I've watched ithe series with Real Alternative Player.

 

Thanks for that Steve.........I realise now I have been trying to watch stuff that deals with the 'String Theory' regarding our Universe and everythin', and so I have come to the ultimate conclusion that my puter 'strings' have become taffled up somewhere in the great beyond, so I shall resign myself to the mundane vagiaries of Quantum Mouse Scrolling (an art in itself)....and still live my life to the full regardless......I'am now about to take Beetlboss's advice and whack my pute with an 18" cucumber and then click 'YES'......Farewell cruel World.............I didn't want to watch the B++++r anyway........... See if I care.........


Co(Nonplussed)chise, (Still cool, even in adversity)..


PS. Your not the REAL Stephen Hawkings are you?........

 

I think it is his great nephew on his mother's brother's step father's cousin's by marriage and tribal initiation....I might be wrong!!

 

I heard a sausage will get better results!

 

I've tried that with the sausage Marja.....but I just don't seem to be able to get the same amount of force behind it.......something to do with leverage I think...........I might try a good Lincolnshire 20" Black Pudding to-morrow.....




Cochise,

 

ROFL!!OK! 'Chise, keep us up to date on the puddin'!!

 

They sent me an email:

 

WELL, that was real nice ... it looks to interesting to just pass up.... Can't you use the video part of WMP10?? I see on there, just never tried it- yet!

 

I must have the quicktime with the bug, No matter which of my four browsers I attempt to view this with it crashes the browser.

 

Well that's a relief.......I was beginning to think it was something I'd said.....

The solution came just in time before I gave my puter a good lathering with the old 20" Lincolnshire Black Pudding......so instead we have fried it and eaten it with some Fava beans and a bottle of Chianti....Phuu!Phuu!......
