Michael, before taking any drastic measures may I suggest you delete the cookies and internet temp files in your I.E. browser? Click on Tools, Internet Options and under the General tab click on "delete cookies," click OK. Then click "Delete Files," in box that appears make sure you tick "delete all offline content" and click OK. After files are deleted (hour glass no longer present), click OK. Now see if you can view your movies.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Where did my movies go in IE?
A most peculiar problem has surfaced – I can no longer view movies (mpg, wmv<br>avi, etc) by launching them a link in IE6. I am running XP Pro SP2 (but this<br>is a problem that surfaced long after I upgraded to SP2, so it doesn’t seem<br>to be a security setting, for example). When I am in a web site that has a<br>movie and I click on it, I get sent to the “we can’t find this web page”<br>white page. No matter what I do the movie will not play.<br><br>The problem is not limited to a particular web site but to all sites I have<br>tried so far. The problem is not in the link, since I can RIGHT-click the<br>movies and save them to my computer and then play them just fine.<br><br>I use Microsoft Media Player 10 as the associated program for all my movies,<br>and if I Save the targets and launch, they call Media Player just fine, so<br>it is not Media Player.<br><br>If I use Mozilla instead of IE, no problems – movies play – so, again it is<br>something in the browser, not the links themselves.<br><br>I did not consciously do anything to reset the browser to any setting that<br>precludes me seeing movies.<br><br>Any ideas how I can restore this functionality?<br><br>Michael<br><br> Curious about the people moderating your<br> messages?
