Computer SOS

[layne67]

Lately, each time I opened a page with an LJ-embedded video in it, a window with a script-error message popped up and that particular page would freeze. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

ETA : It's not the YouTube embedded vids, but the ones when you post clips using the 'Embed Media' option on LJ.

I'm fine. Maybe there's something wrong with your browser?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe that's it. Probably a virus or something.

*sighs*

[shiroki-kun.livejournal.com]

Your anti virus didn't say anything? How 'bout try to reinstall it?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's keeping silent so far. Re-install the anti-virus you mean?

[shiroki-kun.livejournal.com]

Your browser. Maybe there's a or some ad ons didn't compatible with your browser new updater. Just a hunch, though ^^;;

[layne67.livejournal.com]

And by browser do you mean my Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox? Sorry!!! I'm such an idjit when it comes to computers :((

[shiroki-kun.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, that's OK. Hmmm, did you get the same problem when try it in IE too? But, try to re-install the Mozilla, first, and then let's see what happen ^^

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I'm using IE actually. I'll try Mozilla and see what happens. If it's okay with Mozilla I guess that means I should re-install my IE, ya?

[shiroki-kun.livejournal.com]

Ya ^^

Thanks, Leona!!

Btw, I keep thinking of Lenora when I say your name ;P

[shiroki-kun.livejournal.com]

Btw, I keep thinking of Lenora when I say your name

ROFL

Hmm... never heard of that problem but i had some with embedded audio. Maybe you need to try and open a page in another browser? Ot it could be your disign's problem (they like to change something and don't tell people), if it won't change try to tell LJ support about this - maybe it's their fuck up?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It happens whenever I click "play" for the vids, whether or not I open it on a new window :(

[leelust.livejournal.com]

I didn't get - you use IE or FF?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

IE. Though I use FF sometimes :)

[leelust.livejournal.com]

So it freezes even in FF? Then you def need to write couple of 'good' words to LJ support team.

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

I don't know, sweetie... I wish I could help you! :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's so annoying! Ah well, I guess I just won't click on those vids :/

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I have a similar problem with MGM's Stargate site. Whenever I click on a link with a vid embedded, my Firefox freezes.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It must have something to do with the programming of that site that's not compatible with our browser. Someone above suggested that we should re-install it.

I have problems with some vids too. But no idea why. :(

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Now I'm wary of running the vids, except for the YouTube ones which seem to be okay.

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Heee...great you already found out the problem was.
So, we don't have to use "Embed Media" in LJ option, then?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh you can use it if you didn't have any problem with it. For me it's the playback thing that's the problem. I've never tried using the LJ embed media option to post my vids, I usually simply use YouTube!

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Oh okay. I don't even know that there's such thing called "Embed Media" at LJ. :D

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Just you. Definitely. *nods*

*g*

Sorry, dear. Just kiddin'!

Hey, I have Dean with me. He made Sam computer freeze up too!!!!
