    On most videos I try to view on the internet the picture doesn't show up and nothing plays all you see is white box at the top left corner of the screen with an X in the middle. How do I fix this.

    What browser are you using on which operating system? Does it happen for all filetypes, or just a select few?

    Can you link us to any as examples?

    Open wmp,tools-options-security tab.

    Is there a tick in "run script commands when present".Don't know if this will help but may be worth a shot.

    Didnt work either... : /

    *I just went on putfile.com and tryed to view one of the videos there and I could get any of them to play it showed the same white box with a red X at the top left corner? But still...why cant I view any of those videos on that site? I can view the ones on youtube.com easy..Could it be my internet settings? Like I have something enabled that blocks certain videos or what..

    Hmm still having trouble..I noticed though when I got on firefox and went to try and play the videos it said something about "Can't create directshow player" ?? so I installed that and the codecs and it still says that??
