What happens in a test profile?
Thanks Peter,
What happens, happens pretty fast. I do appreciate your help. If you
have figured this out, and so I can deal with this in the future, were
you saying in your previous post to hit F11 as soon as I see the opening
web page to stop the WMP version from starting? That might be helpful if
I ever visit this site again (not likely) but not if I stubble on
another web site that does the same thing without my anticipation or and
without warning.
Beyond this specific example, once a video starts, as this one does, how
to stop it without shutting down? Losing control over the computer is my
principal concern.
No. I have not created a test profile yet. I am hoping someone knows how
to defeat an "attacking" video.
Thanks for your help.
I didn't say that at all about F11. You said you get a
"full screen video captured my computer" so I
interpreted that as saying you get the video in Full
Screen mode. Hitting F11 is a toggle between full
screen and normal screen mode. From the browser, hit
F11 and see what happens.
Now reading what you're saying, this is not your
problem. So, you have to tell me what you mean by "an
'attacking' video? Yes, on that site [and on others],
the video plays automatically. Thats the way the site
was designed and the way wmp works. Unfortunately, as
far as I know, there is no way to turn off the
automatic start of a wmp video without hitting the stop
button on the video controls.
So, maybe you need to give a little more info about
what exactly is your problem.
