Hello everyone, this is my first post here TechRepublic.
I am looking for some help or advice on my problem. Once upon a time (a few days ago) when I would click on a .mpeg or .wmv file on an internet site, windows media player 11 would open, buffer, and play the video no problem. But now, for some reason, if I want to watch a video on the internet, i have to first save it to disk, then open it from there. Finding this problem very frustrating.
Heres a bit of info about my computer;
-Laptop running windows vista home premium(32bit)
-2 gig ram
-nVidia 8600GT M graphics
-Intel core2 duo 2.20gHz
I am living in a student house at the moment, and there about 5 of us with computers on a network, but I myself have a desktop, this laptop (where the problem resides) and a ps3 that need to be on the network. So I have my own switch wired to the main gateway of the network so accomodate all my gear, it seemed as though this problem arose when I plugged in my switch. Although after reverting back to just having my laptop directly wired to the main gateway, the problem is still there.
I know thats alot of information, but if any of you guys know what fault i have made or wrong setting i have tweaked then please do let me know. Any help at all would be awesome.
Cheers in advance.
