Vista Question
 

my members that are using vista are having trouble viewing the (.wmv) videos in the member's area. when they left-click the video link it takes them to an error page but they can right-click to "save as" and download it to watch.

is there a patch to fix this? i searched the web but couldn't find much info other than a bunch of stuff from vista haters.

i've been told that i need to use an .flv or embedded media player to fix the problem. any other options? thanks!

don't know but could try to help
 

I'm going to run into the same problem, as I'm opening a site similar to yours but in a different niche, in a few weeks or so.
I'd be happy to help workout this problem as best I can right now if you send me a members login to give it a go.
The front page loads on my xp, but you already know that.
basically free to you for me to at least give it a try.
thanks

I'll re-install vista now, so we can get going on a fix. I had uninstalled it do to bugs like this, but I guess we HAVE to face them now.

i'm sure they will come out with a patch or service pack in the future to fix it but at the moment it's a real pain in the ass for my members.

so now they have to wait until the entire movie loads before it will play. i wanted the stream affect so that's why i never chose the mpeg format.

to fix it now, i can create a new window to open with an embedded player but i like how it works with XP, you left-click the link and the player automatically opens or you can right-click to download the video.

so far i haven't received too many complaints but i'm sure as members get new machines that come with vista they will be complaining about it.

i thought about giving the option of streaming .flv videos but i'll have to convert 600 videos to that format.
