Cannot play web video in IE7 Biggles 02.07.2007 20:08:00 When using IE7 to play videos from web sites, I usually get sound only and always a still frame of random coloured pixellation. I don't seem to have the problem when using Firefox! The problem would seem to be with IE7 but I don't know how to fix it. I'm using Windows XP Home SP2 with Norton Protection Centre 2007. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Cannot play web video in IE7 Biggles 12.07.2007 16:58:03 Checked Device Manager for possible driver update but Windows tells me that all is okay. I'm also puzzled that the problem only occurred when using IE7. Firefox worked fine. Would not a driver problem have caused a problem in both? I've left the acceleration setting at minimum, for the time being. Could this, in fact, be another IE7 issue? It certainly is with some HP scanner software and I speak from bitter experience!

Re: Cannot play web video in IE7 Biggles 12.07.2007 22:00:02 Checked NVIDIA site and found an updated driver. Problem seems to have been cured. Many thanks.
