I am working on a website for a friend of mine and cannot seem to get the movie to work right. I works ok in netscape but when I try and view it in IE it says that the plugin is not working correctly. Here is a link to the video.

Hi there,

short on advice i'm afraid, but just loaded it in IE7 on vista and it worked fine (had to load quick time esspecially for it as its a new build) no probs at all.

Just to warn you tho, the site looks messy in firefox2, your quicktime movie works, but the tables dont line up right. Would heavily reccomend using CSS and divs. Short term its a pain in the a**e but long term saves a hell of a lot of messing about.

Do you think it could be a problem with your IE installation, maybe the plugin is corrupted. Try reinstalling it maybe? If you have IE7 a quick way to check if its that that is causing the problem 'MIGHT' be to roll back the IE7 installation, to IE6 (just got to control panel->add/remove) or if using IE6 try upgrading to IE7.

Hope this helps,
Adam
p.s. I would also mainly test with IE and firefox not sure if netscape is that popular especially as AOL has pulled the plug
