Why do videos on some of my websites not start up (I get an 'X' in the upper left corner of the video box)?

To play sounds or videos from the web you need to install the ActiveX control in your computer. If you have not installed it shows an X.

You probably need to update the program you are viewing your video files on. If you are using windows media player click on the help tab and then search for updates. Run the update and the screen should go back to normal.\nGood luck

You will have to install a plugin that allows the video to play from within the browser.  Usually on a website with videos, the <embed> html includes the plugin link so that it will download automatically.  Either the site does not include this plugin or yours is corrupted.  Most likely yours is corrupted being that you can hear the sound.  Try uninstalling the plugin (instructions differ depending on media software) or switching the file type to a different media player if available.

You will need to be a bit more specific, error messages??\n\nThis happened to me recently. I used to have streaming video from the USA side of Yahoo. Now it won't allow me to watch those videos, only the UK versions.

Download something like media player classic.\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=media+player+classic\n\nupdate your direct x\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=direct+x\n\nUpdate the drivers for your video card. Type your computer model in google. You can also try start -> run -> dxdiag\n\n\nOnce all your drivers are updated it should fix the problem. This error occurs a lot when people reinstall XP without reinstalling their system drivers from the comp manufacturers.

Maybe you need a Codec.\nCertain videos needd certain add-ons for media player to make them play - you just need to take a look at the error messages, find the codec, and download it.\n\nEDIT: The others are right, I used Div-X

the website looks fine to me, no problems, firefox. The only thing i didn't like was the video automatically starting, that's a no no.. no1 likes been forced to watch something they don't want to, and since not everyone is on broadband or better, it'll eat up there bandwidth, just a thought...\n\nR3dm0

it is your setting in you browser. goto tools, and either options or prefances (depending on your browser) and find "display images" or something like that and make sure it is on! done

I dont think the problem is with your computer ... You might not just have the right player to play the video. Try downloading the latest Media player or real player or quicktime player. If you have these then you will have to install approppriate codec so that player can efefctively play those videos. download http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm and then try playing the video

OHH THE HUMANITY! What emergency? Try reinstalling your video software. I cannot believe you reformatted for avi files! Go to download.com and get a different player, there are many things you can do rather than reformat, sounds like you have been taking advice from hardware_guy!

Run the quicktime installation program, if you don't have it, download it again. Then run it and choose "repair." That should do the trick.

A box with a red X in it indicates that the image was unable to load. It may no longer exist on the web server that it was on, or maybe the web server is down.\n\nYou could try refreshing, but if the web server that hosts the image is down or something like that, there's not much you can do on your end.

Done that, been there, got sick of it, and I'm back with IE and windows..\nany way .. see the link below.\nflash takes a while to install/work .. as for video "wmv" it takes quit a bit longer to figure out, but it'll eventually work "within a month or so of research .. trial .. and error".

What type of movie clips are you trying to view?  What is your equipment?  If you're on an Intel, check and see if the plug-in is universal.  If its not, you will need to run your browser using Rosetta.  Here's how:\n\nFind the browser's app in the Finder and click on it\nGet Info by pressing Command-I or File>Get Info\nclick the check next to "Open using Rosetta"\n\nIf that works, I would suggest making a copy of the app, and having one run natively and the other on Rosetta.

You said you installed windows..you did not mention anything about installing your video drivers. It is not yor monitor, you don't have drivers for the video and it will act that way until installed and set correctly.
