Thanks, medic.

And please, if you like this, show The Computer Dude a little love and go visit his Elwood site. ;)

Thanks again to him for running with the idea...

I'm talking about this on the Poynter Online-News mailing list and this site came up...

 

http://firedispatch.com/

Looks like they actually take the info coming over and get it into a database somehow.

We'll probably start small with this, but as we grow resources will be put into it...

Opened it using IE:

Broadwave.asx

What version of IE?

Also, what version of media player?

Thanks.

Might also try opening in itunes or other media player - I'm using VLC Media Player...

IE 7.0.6

WMP 11.0.6

 

Itunes takes too long to load up, and I can't find VLC on this computer, it must be on my screwed up laptop.

Thanks. We'll try to reproduce it. Can you click ok and try to run it anyway?

the only options I got were to save it or cancel it.  It might help you to know that I'm also using Vista Ultimate 64 right now.

Vista Ultimate 64 right now.

 

Probably a security setting, though.

Try saving it to desktop and right-click and open with WMP...

I'll let him know and we'll see if we can't figure it out.

Knowing Vista, though, I'm blaming it (and Billy Gates) at the moment. ;)
