Previously I was able to view videos at web sites, maybe with SP2, but not with SP3. See lots of "transfering data until black screen.</p> <p> MP3 files on my PC work ok. AVI made with my camera do work only after running DVIFIX++ on each file.</p> <p>If necessary, I would download the video at that web site. But I do not know how to d/l a video at a website like <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.marketwatch.com</a></p> <p>Thanks for any help. Dave_s </p>
