computer help: My computer will not play the Foxnews.com news videos any longer.

wlangrehr

My computer will not play the Foxnews.com news videos any longer.

I like to watch news stories on Foxnews.com and listen to the pop-up videos on that site (they have many “video” news stories). Recently (3 -4 months ago) my computer stopped playing them. I do not know what may have changed. When I click on the news story to view video, the viewer screen comes up, but it just stays blank. I have tried re-loading flashplayer, microsoft windows media player…etc. Nothing helps. When the video screen comes up, the square where the video is supposed to play stays a yellow/gold color. No video images ever appear.
The video worked fine for a few years, then suddenly quit?
Is there a chance someone can help?

Thanks,
Will

Try updating your flash player to the newest version. For the most part, if you have Norton or another antivirus programs, they seem to sometimes block the video. Flash is having difficulties with videos, maybe try contacting fox news if it’s the only place not working so well.

Help me with: WHY Are 80’s clothes coming back into style?

Thanks for ther help prettypouf.

I did try updating my flash player to the newest version…still doesn’t work.

Foxnews is no help…they have a help tab at the video player window, but ti just has minimal info.

I’ll see if my antivirus is causing it somehow.

Dose Flash player work on any other site? If not you may have to check your firewall settings. Also Fox news may somehow be a blocked site.

Good luck Ron

sunpetra_8, try creating an original post with a description of your project. You will probably have better luck finding a C programmer…

wlangrehr,

Under Tools > Internet Options > Security > Click on Restricted Sites > Click on Custom Levels.

Scroll down until you see Scripting > Active Scripting and click “Enable”.

See if that helps.

Had the same problem.
Video screen goes blank - no video.
It only affects Foxnews vids.
Every other site plays with no problem.
I’m stuck with watching the far left slanted CNN etc.
Missing the Fair and balanced approach to news,

I’m having the same problem viewing video on Foxnews. Get an orange screen and then nothing.

Have solved the problem of not being able to load and view video on Foxnews.com. I am using Firefox and if I disable Adblock the video works just fine.

I tried, over and over, to buy an autographed copy of Neil Cavuto’s book and wonder if he knows about the difficulty!
