The fact that nobody has been able to comment on the following query must indicated either that I haven't given enough information on it (although I don't know what else I could say), or that this is not the right place to ask for help with the problem, but I don't know where a more appropriate place would be. I would really like to solve this problem, and would be very grateful for any helpful comments or advice. This system is OS v11.1. Recently it stopped showing the video clips on the CNN.COM site (which is where I get much of my foreign news). The behavior is that the graphics status line declares that data is being transferred, but when all that is done, the window remains black. These are the clips listed in the "Latest News" part of the Home page. I also still have an installation of OS v10.3 on the machine; the same clips that are not displayed on the v11.1, do show on the v10.3. Comparison of the JavaScript permissions for the two systems are Identical, so the problem is not one of JS. But in BOTH installations, an attempt to enter the Crime section of the site fails: the status line reports that data is being transferred, but afterward the window remains grey. That doesn't happen with any other part of the CNN site. My next attempt at diagnosis was to disable all the browser extensions. This made no difference, so the problem is also not in an extension. The only remaining possibility that occurs to me is the Flash plugin. The ShockWave plugin is present (v10.0.r22), and is enabled for swf and spl formats. But I have also noticed lately that several sites I have visited refuse to admit me because they claim that I don't have Flash, and I should install Flash v8 or higher, and I assume/hope that this is a clue to the present problem, even if I don't know how to interpret it. I have also examined about:config and searched for lines containing "flash", but nothing jumps out at me as a possible connection. Any advice will be welcome. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
