Question viewing live feed on vista OS
I have been using a live feed for watching my security cameras when I am away from my business using Windows XP for years. I have just upgraded my computer and my new one has Windows Vista Ultimate installed on it.
Now when I go onto the website it won't show me any feed. Instead I am getting a tiny box on the left hand corner of the screen where the feed normally is. If I hit the play button I get a box up telling me "Active X downloading, please refresh". Earlier I installed an active x control on my computer and this has made no difference. When I refresh nothing else happens either.
I have also gone into security settings and enabled everything to do with active x.
Any help would be really appreciated.

What type of feed is it? In what format does the feed play? Maybe naming the program would help answer some of the questions.

When you right-click the box, do you get any information about what plug-in may be responsible or needed?

Have you disabled Flash or scripting with any of your anti-spyware apps?

When I go into properties it tells me its a HTML document. This is also what appears on my XP operating system.
The feed comes from a private http & numbers site, means nothing to me!!
Haven't disabled anything, installed java and macromedia flash players.
