I just tried backpedalling back to IE9, and my computer wouldn't let me: it's no longer supported by my system. :gaah:

 

[cuznjohn]

have you tried deleting cookies and temporary files

 

[Bob Denman]

Yup... but that stuff is always cleared out at the end of each session anyway...

D,
Try the link that I posted in #12...
Please let me know if you can see it. :thumbup:

The link opens up.

:thumbup: At least we've learned THAT much...
I'll play around with IE11 over the weekend, and see if I can back-track on the updates that they seem to want to shove down my throat. :shocked:

Try Firefox.

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm really reluctant to change browsers:
1. I have NO idea what it involves...
2. I have NO idea of how they do what they do
3. I'd be concerned about losing the "easy functionality", that I've grown so used-to
4. I have no idea of where to go to even get one of them

blank screen for me.

I changed over to IE11 today. No change on the blank screens. I am still running Windows 7--should I upgrade to 10?

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm running the same WIN7/IE11 combo... :dontknow:
Give 10 a try: it couldn't hurt!

It's a digital rights management (DRM) issue with IE and YouTube. It appears YT, or the people who make and upload some videos, are using some DRM method not supported in IE. I searched for a solution and came up wanting. One site, http://www.drmtoday.com/platforms/, shows a list of browsers and the various DRM schemes they support or use. IE uses/supports only Micros**t version called Playready. Apparently the video of the priest uses Widevine or Primetime, neither of which IE supports.

Your best option, and maybe the only one, is to scrap IE and Edge and use Firefox and maybe Chrome. So AK and Bob, you can stop :banghead: trying to get the priest video to play in IE. It looks to me like it ain't gonna happen.

Addendum: The video not playing has something to do with the link going through SL. If you copy the video URL directly into IE address bar it plays.

We figured that trick out already... :thumbup:
What is this "Firefox" thing; where do we find it, and how tough is it to set up?

 

[cuznjohn]

i have been using firefox for a few years now, and like it much better then IE

 

[Bob Denman]

:dontknow: Where do we go to get it, and how tough is it to switch over to the new browser? :dontknow:

 

[cuznjohn]

here is the free download for firefox, naturally you will have to add all the sites you have saved on IE to it. it is a pain to do, because you have to look up all the sites, and save them. but like i said, i like the firefox much better https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

 

[Bob Denman]

I'll have to figure out a way to store all of my favorites, and transfer them into it! :thumbup:

FF will import your stuff from IE during install if you want.

Do you have to do anything special for this to happen; or is it an automatic thing? :dontknow:
