Can we watch the FIU game?

I just downloaded Windows MP 10. I'm not the smartest kid on the block with PC stuff so hopefully I'm good...cuz I paid the $8 for the game.

Any thoughts on what I need to do to get this to work?
What version of WMP? I think I have 9 and it works fine for me. Also, what browser are you using? I ended up having to use IE.
How do I tell which version? I am using firefox as my browser.
Go to your program files folder, and open your windows media player folder. There should be a file called wmplayer. right click and choose properties and there should be a version tab.

Make sure you're 9 or above and try the link from IE.

I have version 10 of WMP. I used IE to check and the video worked fine. Now, I just need to be home at 6:00 on Saturday so I can watch.

WH,

I downloaded WMP 10 last night and just checked mine as well and the video worked fine. Did you get a video clip of different schools in still shots? The sound was fine, the picture was fine. I'll be online around 4:30-5 in case any problems arise. I'll be listening to the radio pregame show as well. Ain't the easiest way to get coverage but it's better than nothing.

GO FALCONS!!!

Yep, Freak, the 'video' was still shots from games. Which I thought was odd. Why wouldn't thy make the test some actual footage so you can see how it will look?

Anyone know if WBGU is doing a broadcast of the game (i think they do away games?!)

It would be nice to get a webfeed of the game?

How are you watching the Kent game? I can't get the damned calendar to change - it just keeps saying "error on page" at the bottom of the window.

Stop licking the windows and it'll come to you.

I just signed up today, and it gave me the schedule. I'm not closing the page, just for the reason you stated.

First of all, bite me.

Second of all, I opened the account in Firefox and everything is working properly. Why does Internet Explorer suck so very much?

I got the new version of Internet Explorer last week and it very similar to Fire Fox. It is a lot better than the old version.

I haven't really looked into everything but it does have the tab functions and some add ons but not as extensive as Firefox. IE is more user friendly atleast for me than it has been in the past. For more of you tech guys I'm certain Firefox will still be better.

TG1996 · Post by **TG1996** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 5:00 pm

Yeah, I imagine I'll still use Firefox as my go-to, but it's good to see that IE might be waking up and making things easier. Of course, the interface means nothing if it still crashes three or four times a session.
