| Trouble watching videos? Uninstalling Microsoft's piece of crap "Silverlight" will probably clear that right up. |

Quit using IE and Mozilla a few months ago. Went to Opera.
ReplyDeleteHave had two major updates since, but it's a pretty good program. No latency noticed (since last update). It is a resource hog at times, although the program itself doesn't take up all that much space. But name any app from MS that isn't a resource hog.

Trying to get a LINUX, microsoft, mac argument going again?
ReplyDeleteNow I know why I wasn't having problems, it is a microsoft problem.
I fixed my video problem a while back. Now I have a problem with getting the rollover thingy to work like on the pic you used for this posting.

Funny, I use only IE. In all the lab tests I've performed, it is the most secure browser. Just last week I had to remove Firefox due to problems it caused, and given the security warnings published within the last 2 days, I do not intend to reinstall it anytime soon. However, the issue here is Silverlight. I have no issues, none, watching movies, or creating them, or downloading them from YouTube or where ever. I would suspect that the actual issue is with BHO's or Plugins or other browser add-ins on the problem machines. It helps, I suspect, that I build and load software myself, and know what internet sites to say no to, what 3rd-party tools to not use, and I also keep my MS Updates current. Of course, I'm just a computer and network security engineer; what do I know?
ReplyDeleteThanks CarlS - We love having computer geeks make house calls. I have no doubt that you're correct, but for us live-a-days, when something like this happens, we just want a fix without spending 5 hours reading FAQS, uninstalling stuff one at a time, etc. In this instance getting rid of Silverlight worked, and I don't miss having it (so far). Like MoSup said when I was teaching her to drive, "Don't tell me about pistons; show me where the key goes."
