| (XP) MSN Video (Beta) player problem When trying to watch/play a video The MSN Video (Beta) player problem I have is that I cannot play any videos, directly or when I try to add to the play list, when the play list is viewed, there is a red X next to the video. The player control buttons is grayed out, non-functional when clicked. My PC system is running XP, I have pop-up stopper free edition by panicware (dis-able), Norton's anti-virus/firewall 2003 and The Cleaner anti-trojan installed. Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated! | |

| Re: (XP) MSN Video (Beta) player problem Do you have all of the requirements?
Did you add »betavideo.my.msn.com/video/ to the allow list in Pop-Up Guard?
Are you using a HOSTS file?
I had no problems playing any of the video available.

| Re: (XP) MSN Video (Beta) player problem I uninstalled the pop-up stopper from panicware, disabled the Norton antivirus and firewall 2003 with no help. I tried the help file with MSN video beta player, my system exceeds the requirements and active scripting enable. Could you explain a HOSTS file to me?
Thanks  | |

| I have found out it's a conflict with Norton's in my case. If I disable NIS 2004 completely the videos will play fine, but if I disable the pop-up blocker, or firewall individually it doesn't help. I have tried putting in the URLs in the pop up blocker as suggested above with no success either. Can anyone think of a work around for this without totally disabling my security? | |
