Clicking on Video links..?

Post by Techy111 »

Its happened here with Ian and Peters Streamed videos....I cannot seem to click on Video links anymore...i get a "diagnose Connection Error" window then i cancel that...then i get 2 clicks and then nothing...?

I can right click and save target as....but no more streaming...?

I got Vista 32... :worried:

Are you on IE or Firefox...I'm on Firefox and it does seem a bit different...I couldn't get Ian's but mine stream OK...I have had to right click on some links recently and then choose "Save Link as:" and then the video has downloaded rather than streamed :dunno:

IE 8 Peter.....Its only recently started doing it.... :think:

Maybe i should re-install it as some software adds things to the Top Addy bar.... :brick:

Hi mate. Sounds like some dodgy plugin. To be honest I don't bother with toolbars etc as I don't have the need for them. I'm on IE8 here on Vista 32 with no probs (just tried them again to be sure.) Best bet is to uninstall the toolbars as reinstalling IE8 won't fix an add in that isn't working properly with it. :cpu:
