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); a few visits to other news sites showed me that the behavior is not limited to CNN. The behavior is that the graphics status line declares that data is being transferred, but when all that is done, the window remains black. 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. 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
