Can you watch CNN video clips on Windows Vista?

Post by Apoptosis »

I can't watch any news clips on CNN.com as it says:
"The CNN.com video experience is optimized for Windows Media Player 9 or above.

No Windows Media Player Detected"
Does anyone else with Vista have this problem?

Here is a LINK to find out.

Well damn, I get an error window

Internet Explorer has stopped working
blah blah...will close the program

Says I am missing an update, yet windows update doesnt show it...must be the RC1 I am using since Intel STILL hasnt shipped the Ultimates out :(

sorry I cant help.

Oh and mine is the 64bit also - might go to the 32 bit to see if it works better, jsut thought 64bit should be faster :roll: me thinking again :oops:
