Ie 8 codec

I then go back to the first page of results and see that the second result is a support. Hopeful, I click it. This is looking hopeful. Why not? My screen goes blank. I wait. My screen just glows with the bluish white of the LCD backlight. My computer has crashed. Frustrated, I hold down the power button to force a shutdown. I turn the computer back on, wait for Windows XP to boot, login, and then launch Internet Explorer to try again. I go back to the Microsoft support site and click the download again.

This time it doesn't crash the computer. I run the patch install. I see that it warns me to back up my system and close all open programs. Already frustrated that viewing a video has been so painful, I'm not going to spend more time backing up my system. I proceed with the install. I'm shown a long license agreement, part of which appears to be in French instead of English.

I select "I Agree" to something I neither have the patience or skill to understand. Upon clicking next, the setup tells me that it is Backing up my files. I wonder why it told me to backup at the start if it is backing up impacted files now. Eventually the install completes. After closing the installer, I try to view the video again. The Media Player stops responding when I press play.

Clicking the End Now button seems to do nothing. I click it multiple times before it finally kills the process.

Now, after all this trouble, I'm asked if I want to tell Microsoft about this problem. I click the Don't Send button while thinking "I'm not sending any error report, but I am blogging this! Not being one to give up too easily, I try one more time and am able to play the video. Finally, the video is playing but I no longer care what features are new to IE8. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback.
