When trying to load a webcam, picture loads but will not stream.

The following error message appears "error loading media-file could not be played"

Everything functions when using Google Chrome.

Any help would be much appreciated. The operating system is Vista.

Your System Details does not show you have a player installed.

Thank you for you reply - much appreciated.

I am a bit confused - if I do not have a player installed, how come that everything is OK when I use Google Chrome as a browser?

Many thanks,

Jimmy
