video clips don't play immediately
when i click on video clips (downloads) they no longer play immediately.
Now, I have to wait for them to download before viewing. They download to temporary folder. I've checked settings in view folders file and all appears to be ok. I am updated with windows update. Could the "update windows" have changed the settings somewhere on my computer? |

Streaming files will begin playing immediately, all others must be
downloaded before playing. This behaviour is independent of Windows or any settings within it. -- Richard G.

The streaming files are the ones I am talking about. They all download now
to "temporary folder" then start streaming. It is a case of my bad explanation--LOL I get the pop up asking to "open" or "save". The box and question " Always open files with this program"(or something--LOL) is checked and cannot be changed. This just started happening recently. I looked at my computer and the only thing done lately that I can remember is "updating windows" . example -critical updates etc. Oh, wait, I did recently do a "spybot search and destroy scan" and an "adware scan". Again, thanks for the help ! "Richard G. Harper" wrote: Streaming files will begin playing immediately, all others must be downloaded before playing.

That's not a streaming media file, then. Streaming files NEVER download and
NOTHING you do to your system can make them do so. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

Well, I goofed again,--LOL. Don't know where my mind was at when I wrote the
reply. I actually know my computer pretty well and also SHOULD know what a streaming file is---LOL. Usual case example: I click on the file and WMP start playing immediately. Now just goes to temporary folder then starts playing. Something changed and I just didnt notice when because I hadn't tried to view a clip in a while. Just aggravating---LOL Plus the wait time for the file to completely download, as opposed to viewing as downloading. Thank you for the effort, much appreciated. "Richard G.
