Video viewing problems

[baldy]

For some reason i cannot get to see videos on some sites using ie7.
I just see a blank white box where the video content should be, with an icon
in the top left of the box.
The icon has a red square, and a blue circle and triangle in it.

If I use mozilla firefox to view the same site then I can see the video ok.

If anyone can advise then that would be great

Am using xp, and use the Microsoft Updates regularly

Cheers

Using codecs:

If I can view the sites using Mozilla Firefox I should be able to see them
using IE7. If a codec needs to be installed why does Firefox allow me to
view the vids but not IE7.

Surely the problem lies with IE7 and not WMP11.

Or maybe not!






The videos are embedded into web pages and
