Cannot open movie clips in IE
I keep getting "page cannot be displayed" when trying to open movie clips or download them temporarily to open them. Was working fine yesterday. Tried a restore, downloaded codecs.
Can view Youtube movies fine.

Is there anyone out there that can help me?
Is it maybe something to do with media player?
Is it something to do with IE7? - works ok on my other XP machine
Is it something to do with default settings? all are set to Media Player

At times a given IE7 add-on can cause video problems. Try disabling all add-ons; if the video works, enable one add-on at a time until you find the culprit.

Run up to date virus and spyware scans.

thanks for the help but still doesnt work.

I disabled all add-ons and did a registry and virus scan and clean. I only did a full recovery 2 weeks ago and was working ok afterwards.

Any other ideas?

Some thoughts:

Check the windows updates that have been downloaded to see if the time of the update coincides with the video problem.

Try resetting the defaults in Internet Options.

Check firewall settings.
