not sure if its trying to watch in real player or not. I just checked, and it just looks like a firefox pop up window... which is how I usually/normally watch. I am trying to think back to when this first happened... I thought it was just something down with the VIP site.. I don't remember any updates or changes at my end.. but who knows;) can't right click on the black screen.. nothing happens.. the top of the screen has what appears to be a firefox browser address bar/ link location.. which i can copy... http://vip.tv-video.net/index.ph ... 19554&player=&sid=2 right-click on the flag-play icon just offers to save image of.. and don't really need a flag piccy does this tell you anything?

the only thing I can think... is that maybe there was a firefox update that changed something.. but if that were the case.. i would think someone else would have run into a similar problem... cruel cruel world that won't let me watch the good stuff

ive got FF 3.6 also.. latest updates automatic and all that;) so what else could be blocking the video from playing? like I noted.. there isn't even a play button/toolbar.. all that is black too... total weirdness

I thought FF was the optimal one to use.. will try IE ( ugh!... and see what that does... ok- in IE.. it wanted to run an active x addon.. and then it looked like it would run fine... I didn't get that for FF, no message etc... so is there something I should try installing, updating or adding on...? I would have thought that adding/ DLing whatever IE needed would also activate for FF... but nothing changed.. suggestions?
