Hi,
I have IE8 on a Windows Vista PC.
Today at http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ (Dec 15) there is a picture/movie I am unable to view.
It just displays with the frame and a miniscule icon in the top left corner.
I don't seem to be able to ascertain what type of file it is, so I can check that I can view these files, or update the system if need be so I can view them.
Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I saw the same movie earlier today and it plays fine for me.
I'm not sure what you need to do to see it but I am sure someone will tell you.“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” – Dr. Seuss

You were absolutely correct.
It seems I have a problem installing Flash on my PC.
Will have to investigate further.
Many thanks.

2010-12-15 10:05Check in the IE 8 tools/Internet Options section to ensure that flash has not been inadvertently blocked:
Tools>>internet options>>content>>certificates>>untrusted publishers. If Adobe flash is located there remove it.
If Adobe flash is located in the "untrusted publishers" section of certificates it will not be installed.DRIVE IMAGING
Invest a little time and energy in a well thought out BACKUP regimen and you will have minimal down time, and headache.

2011-02-03 15:35I had the same problem. I finally fixed it 2 days ago. The problem is an incomplete flash installation. Heres the link to diag and reinstall.
