Finchy Friday - Bar Stewards screen grabs and comments thread...

[Joanna]

With the new vid/Belm Off not working for you but the blog one okay, think that's to do with the fact the first two vids are quicktime ones and the blog one uses flash. Must be just a qt prob you're having.

I officially give up. I've downloaded it again, updated it, checked it, put it as the default player and still all I get is green!

 

[Joanna]

Don't give up just yet! Just had a bit of a google and got a couple of things you could try. First is open quicktime, click on 'edit' in the toolbar, then 'preferences' in the resulting dropdown menu, then on 'quicktime preferences' from the next menu, then on the 'advanced' tab. Look in the ''video' section and see if 'enable directdraw acceleration' has a tick next to it and so is enabled. If so, uncheck this option to disable it. Then make sure that the 'safe mode' option is NOT checked but that the other two options are. So it should just be the safe mode and 'enable directdraw acceleration' options that are NOT checked in the video section. I haven't got directdraw disabled, but read that doing so has worked for people.

Another thing to try is go into your add/remove programs (in control panel), and highlight quicktime in it. Then click on 'change' and then click on 'repair'.

Hope some of that works for you.

 

[Fran]

Thanks Joanna...sounds easy peasy.

 

[Joanna]

Will be once you click through and see it!

 

[Fran]

Well done Joanna! Problem solved! I disabled the enable quick draw thingy and it worked! Thank you. Not sure wot to say about the actual vid...words escape me.

I can confirm that he is a very good looking lad

 

[Joanna]

He's very famous, got a skin complaint, is hideously good looking, Cop and wiggy find him extremely attractive ...Well, that's all I've got for now! Although ...but he isn't a 'lad'...

There's a big scary man with a frightening looking knife - and I'm a bit worried about what he intends to do with it!

 

[curtinparloe]

He's clearly a myopic knife inspector.

Cop asked for just three, but I couldn't decide, and as it's bedtime and I'm busy 'til Monday, I put on all the ones that seemed to turn out OK.

 

[Booth]

Cheers Gorf, it was good to meet up with you finally. You should try and get down more often

 

[Joanna]
