Thanks Joe - well I have tried twice to download both Adobe Flash Player 9
(ActiveX) and Adobe Shockwave Player (Version 10.1.3.18) and view the
www.startigovertv.com website both times with negative results, i.e. the
webpage does not display properly.
In both of the download attempts, while the two programs did get installed,
they did not "pass" the successful download and install test that Adobe has
established: an animated sequence or video presentation at the conclusion of
the respective downloads. I further went tot he Adobe Support Center site and
tried to test the Flash player with negative results; the computer simply
stops sending or receiving information over the internet connection and never
completes. The connection is still active but there is no traffic over it. I
have ZoneAlarm installed and tried to run the test with it active and with it
terminated. In both cases the data packet transfers just seemed to stop. This
seems to be the exactly the prollem with the end of the download sequences
that I ran.
I've also tried to sun Video links from other websites and I have been
unsuccessful in getting them to run; they seem to hang up and the data
transfers just drop off to zero.
Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that the 56KBPS connection is the
prmary cause of all of my problems; it cannot support any sort of video
processing. Would you agree with this and should I just give up trying to get
this to work?
Incidentally, your " uncheck the Yahoo toolbar bit" hint when downloading
the Shockwave Flash player never came up in either of the downloads I tried.
It seems the Link you provided produces a different download webpage when you
access it from Windows XP vs. Windows 2000 which does show the Yahoo toolbar
option.

Make sure you have Flash installed -

(Make sure you uncheck the Yahoo toolbar bit)
If you have Flash installed, make sure you don't have a third-party tool
that's blocking Flash, such as some toolbar or pop-up blocker.
If you are still running WinXP SP-1, I suggest you update to SP-2 for
security reasons:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx ....and that support
for SP-1 ends October 10th, 2006.

I have been having a problem attempting to view a particular website,
www.startingovertv.com. When I enter this into the URL address line in IE
6.0
all I get is a blank screen with some color background and the Privacy and
Terms of Use links at the bottom - but no content is shown. I am running
Microsoft XP, Service Pack 1. I have checked all of the Internet Options
and
compared with another machine that is running Windows 2000. That machine
has
no problem viewing the site and all of the options are identical with my
system.
It would appear that the problem is with MS XP and some settings or
downloads that I do not have on my system.
Can anyone suggest how I can proceed to correct this problem?
