I've run into an unusual problem involving the Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 plugin: something I didn't even know about until recently.
Not long ago, a few sites I visit started encoding multimedia content onto Web pages using Silverlight. This requires the installation of a plugin. One of these sites is the multimedia portion of MLB.com, where you can hear news headlines and feature interviews with prominent individuals in the world of baseball: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?video=200712122324359 Clicking on a particular FastCast or interview link used to bring up a player window and lead to the immediate playback of the requested clip. But recently I noticed that a frame pops up which directs me to install the Silverlight plugin. I have done this. But now, when I click on a link on that particular page, I get only an area of the page identifying itself as an "article player frame," but there is no button inside the frame, and no audible content plays. Silverlight does appear in my list of installed programs. I have installed all software updates called for by Microsoft Update. In addition, I have removed Spybot S&D, whose IE add-ons were causing frequent browser errors and shut-downs. And the downloading and playing of ActiveX controls within my Internet security options is enabled. Does anyone have an idea? I am a blind PC user, employing JAWS 8 and using Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP Professional. I might soon upgrade to IE 7, but don't know if this in itself will solve this problem. -Kane Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
