Hi Paul,
I'm not sure I fully understand this, but it's very interesting. I have tho=
ugh found a solution to my problem, and I've had it for a day or two! I dis=
covered by accident this morning that FlashGot which Rob recommended DOES w=
ork for me, now I know how to use it. The problem was, I expected some kind=
of message or indication of some kind, to tell me that it was working; it =
doesn't give one! For instance, with the bears, I right clicked the page an=
d selected FlashGot Media (1); nothing happened; I checked My Documents; no=
thing there! What I discovered was that it turned up there later as a VLC f=
ile (my default player) and played no problems. It also worked with the loo=
ns.
So, although not so convenient, this is at present a solution I am happy wi=
th. Thanks Rob! Thanks also to all who have taken time to help solve this p=
roblem. I'm aware that I wasn't the only one that was suffering, and I hope=
others too find satisfactory solutions.
All the best
Max
p.s. to Vicky re her 'tinkling artifacts', out of interest what was the fil=
e size of the loons? Mine was 9.80 meg.
