I am going to smash my computer - someone please help me!!!
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 12:53 PM by stop the bleeding
Everyday I goto the White House's web site and try to click on the link to hear the live press conferences hosted by Snotty and evey time that I click on the link it comes up with a blank window, and I can not restore the window to full size because that option is grayed out.

I do not have any pop blocking software on my machine.

I have Windows Media Player

When I click on the properties for the blank window it tells me the connection is not "Encrypted" does this mean anything?

Please help I am going crazy not be able to listen this!:argh:


This part was edited,

someone was able to help me on another thread and it turns out that the Real Player was not installed on my computer and that was what was needed.

Thanx again for everyone's help and i am going to keep a sledgehammer close by for any future problems.

1. Try this - 'tools', 'internet options', 'security' then check how high
privacy settings are. If they are too high, certain things will be blocked

2. 10 pound sledgehammer should do the trick...
Or am I focusing on the wrong solution?

3. For some reason the White House always comes up on
RealPlayer for me, only to run for a minute or two and then time out.

I've watched little Scottie on C-Span 2 on Windows Media Player and have had no such trouble.

5. Lavish use of profantiy works for me. May not solve the problem but
eases my troubled mind.
