I've run into a problem on my IE7, Vista-SP1 system: I can't see any streaming video at cnn.com. I used to be able to and I am not aware of any specific update I've done that related to it breaking. Instead of the video, I get the player and a black slab where the video should be. Here's a link I can't see: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/09/05/pkg.uk.spider.art.itn I don't have any issues at youtube, Foxnews, or other sites I've tested. I have upgraded to the latest flash player via Adobe. I've shut off my firewall. I've flushed my cache. FFox on the same system works fine. Ideas? |

I noticed do get an error (click the yellow exclamation point to see details) on Line 16 "the data is invalid". Do you get that error (but you can still see the video?) |

Another oddity found - If I log into another user account on the same machine it works fine. So, it's not a strict software problem, but something configurable. Still hoping for ideas... |
