Safari problem with one web site

  • Follow


http://www.webhostingpad.com/demos/rvsb4/rvsb4-1-get-started.html

This worked a couple of weeks ago on my copy of Safari.  Now I just get 
sound and no picture.  The same thing happens if I try Firefox.  It does 
work on my wife's MacBook.  That suggests something is screwed up on my 
machine.

As far as I know I haven't changed anything, but obviously, something 
has changed.  It is possible this web site is looking for something I 
have turned off.  If anybody could tell me what it needs to work 
properly I would appreciate it.

I have tried turning off the computer for about 30 minutes but that 
didn't help.

I think I may need Flashplayer for this.  The plug-in shows in 
/Library/internet-plugins but not in Safari Help->Installed Plug-ins.  
How is that possible?  How can I make Safari see this plug-in?

I apologize to the newsgroup.  My wife's computer doesn't have the 
flashplayer plug-in eithr and it works for her.  Something else is the 
problem.

* Your OS and version of Safari?

* Does it happen that you are unable to see other Flash content on 
other sites or just this particular page?

* In your Help/Installed Plug-Ins, what does it read for Flash? Mine, 
for example, has Shockwave Flash for application/x-shockwave Flash and 
something else not relevant here, both delivered from the main 
library's Internet Plug-Ins Flash Player.plugin. This Adobe works well 
for me but your plugin might be different and might interact with your 
OS or browser differently?  

* What does Disk Utility say when you attempt to verify your startup 
disk, all OK?

* Is your internet connection good?

Works slick for me. And I have a Slowwwwwwwwwww DSL connection.
Using SeaMonkey or FireFox.

It turns out it is flash.  The web site uses it although Safari doesn't.  
A couple of days ago I downloaded 11.4, not realizing it was a beta.  
After re-installing 11.3 all returned to normal.  It is possible 11.4 
isn't supposed to work with OS X 10.7 or maybe it has a bug.
