Possible TECHNICAL problem
Author: Adam	March 29, 2003 at 18:38:12

some people, myself included, are having a difficulty
watching mpegs at the archive. when you click on an mpeg it
downloads into ram but doesnt open WMP just gives you a
dead page with a red "X". we are aware of this problem and
are looking for a reason and a fix.

it appears to be a windowscentric problem...in particular
IE 6 run on XP. if anybody else is having this problem
e-mail me adam@inreallife.net. let me know what browser
your using and which OS your running.

there are two workarounds in the meantime if you are having
problems.

1) right click mpeg and click save as. download and watch
it from your hard drive. 2) in WMP under file click open
url. type in the exact url of the mpeg you want to watch.
it will play just like it should using this method...you
wont have to DL the whole clip to preview it.

we are working on trying to figure out what the exact
problem is. but it looks likely that its a IE 6 problem
that will come and go without us ever knowing what was
wrong. these things happen with IE from time to time.

if you are having this problem let me know.
