    Which version of Windows are you running ?
    Is your WMP up to date with the patches ?
    Do you get any pop up message giving details of faults ?
    Is it YOUR machine ?
    Or is it a work item ?
    Are you logged on as admin ?

    Details are required
    the more the merrier

    try here for a template for details
    every little helps
    so now I'm in my SIXTIES FFS
    WTAF, how did that happen, so no more alterations to the sig, it will remain as is now

    1)Question one: what browser are you using?
    2)Question two: are you sure that you have all the right plugins installed?

    I have windows media player 10. This computer is basically brand new. Home computer. I don't get any error messages. When I try to play a video in yahoo the window pops up and says "detecting Internet connection speed" but nothing happens.
    Not too long ago I had to do a destructive recovery. Before that everything was fine.

    to determine version of XP

    right click on the 'my computer' icon on the desktop
    select 'properties'

    it s all there ..........

    [edit]
    are you havng any other issues with the PC ?
    can you play video's / mpeg's etc that have been saved to the local machine ?

    it could just be a 'streaming' issue, in that the online video is too large for your internet connection to 'buffer' at the speed it runs at, and so it times out / dies on you.

    what speed IS your internet connection

    dial up 56kbps
    broadband 500kbps - 8Mbps ??
