This is the link to the live feed of the BP oil leak. The thing is it doesn't work on my PC. I've tried everything I can think of to make it work, updating flash player, activeX, divX, I've tried IE, Firefox and Chrome. My Media Player is upto date, I've pasted the url into Media Player direct, nothing works. All the friends I've asked with old and new PC's, some of whom keep on top of their updates and some of whom don't, seem to have no trouble at all. So when I went to work today I thought I'd try it there, and guess what? It didn't work? It did however work on all the other people's work pc's I asked. All our machines have the same standard GE image. Some of the PC's it worked on were installed the same day as mine and are indentical in every way, hardware and software, except for the user name!!!! So:

Why doesnt it work on my PC?
Can anyone else not get it to work?
Anyone got any recomendations as to other things I could try?

The server exploded, caught fire, and sank to the bottom of the ocean.


It does say this below the player:

Please be aware, this is a live stream and may freeze or be unavailable from time to time.

Clicked your link, allowed the pop up and it worked.... don't think that really helps though. Using exploder 8 web browser

Works now/on my Mac. Not the most interesting viewing

I'm in the oil and gas industry so find it quite interesting!!! Or I would if I could see it.

Also, I know it says the live stream may be unavailable from time to time but I've been trying for days whislt other people have got it up and running!!!

Why won't it work on my PC, or any PC that I use for that matter :cry:

Why doesn't it work on my home PC or my work PC when its seems to work on every other PC or mac in the whole world?

Works fine in Firefox if you have the windows media player plugin.
