Why does my Netflix all of a sudden no longer play? I just get directed to the page listing system requirements, which I meet!?

Netflix support says I have to contact you, since my browser might be corrupted? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, same problem. I just get this same page, listing the system requirements, all of which I meet. I have Windows XP 64 service pack 2, and use Firefox 11. I tried to check my plug-ins, and tried to update Silverlight, but again got a message that I didn't meet system requirements. Very frustrating!!
This is the message I constantly get:
Instant Watching System Compatibility
Complete System Requirements
To watch instantly, you''ll need a computer that meets the following minimum requirements:
Windows
Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 3 or higher; or Chrome 7 or higher
1.2 GHz processor
512 MB RAM
Mac
An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.11 or later
Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 3 or higher; or Chrome 10 or higher
1 GB RAM
Chrome OS
A Google Chromebook with Chrome OS 13 or higher

I am pretty sure that is what Netflix uses to display media. Try installing it from [http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/ http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/]

  • Why Does My Email all of a sudden Hang up for 1-2 minutes?

    Just recently, my email hangs up (the spinning color wheel) for one to two minutes whenever I move around to different mailboxes (inbox, sent, etc.). It really never happened before but it does now. I have a CPU activity monitor and whenever this happens, mail accounts for 100% of my cpu activity. Something is going on. When I view "force quit" it looks like mail is NOT Responding but if I wait, it sorts itself out and everything works until it happens again. I went through repair disk permissions, check disk, and tech tool deluxe but it still happens.
    Any one have suggestions as to why this happened? I have rebooted several times just to be sure something hadn't created the problem.
    Happy new year and thanks for any help.

  • Why does my firefox all of a sudden stop downloading data? websites dont load on it anymore...

    im in aus, my net admittedly peaks and slows down alot, and at its best its still way behind 99% of the people on this forum. The times it refuses to load new pages and sits on 'connecting' is very frustrating and it cant be on my end because if i enter the same url's in IE it loads straight away. If i check my net conection status while this problem is occuring, i notice im only uploading/dling a tiny trickle of info at a slow rate, yet this instantly goes away when i start using IE.
    I've only started having problems with it a few days ago, do i need to reinstall firefox or something? i much prefer firefox over chrome or IE dont make me go back to them! ><

  • Why does Apple TV says it is not authorized to play content sometimes when I use the iPad Remote?

    Sometimes when using my Apple TV device with my TV off and trying to play music using the iPad Remote app, the app hangs and no music plays. When I turn on my TV to see what's going on there is a message suggesting the Apple TV is not authorized to play this content. Clearly, that is not the case and when I use the normal Apple TV remote to select the music, it plays fine. I use iTunes Match and generally stream my music from there on the Apple TV. I have both HDMI and optical connections to my receiver. Any idea why this could be happening? I would say it happens several times a week.

    This works for most:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3549547?tstart=60
    Try locating a free TV Show episode in iTunes then 'buy' it on AppleTV 1.
    We should not have to do this though.
    They've forgotten about original AppleTV users.

  • Why does "Download this video" keep popping up when there isn't even a video on the page?

    I just closed 3 tabs in a row and "Download this video" was on the screen even on the fourth tab until I moved the pointer down onto the page to close it manually, it went out before I got there. Sometimes I have to chase it until I can hit the "x", then it stays off for a while.

    Sounds that you have an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After I Repair The Permissions On My Mac Pro, Then I Verify The Permissions And They Have To Be Repaired Again And Again.  Why Does This Happen All The Time.   Please Reply,  James

    Hi,

    Why Does This Happen All The Time.

    As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
    Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.
    Poster rccharles has provided this description of what it all means:
    drwxrwxrwx
    d = directory
    r = read
    w = write
    x = executeable program

  • I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 225GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything, Help!

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 250GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything.

    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed.
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.  Seagate Backup Plus Right now the 1T is more than the 2 & 3T drives
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB $99.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    USB 3.0 is 10x faster than USB 2.0
    Thunderbolt is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
    Format new drives with Apple's Disk Utility rather than the software that come with the drive.
    My plan was to rid a lot of the stuff I have on my computer (to a hard drive) anyhow once it had backed up.
    I wound't necessarily backup those files to Time Machine. I would copy to the external drive then delete from computer. Only backup to Time Machine the data you would want to restore to your Mac if there was a problem. The backup will go much faster this way. Time Machine backup is slower than just copying data in my experience.

    Why does only one headphone work when i listen to music? I have to hold the base of the cord in a certain position for it to work, it does this with all headphones i try, what do i have to do?

    You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.

  • WHY DOES MY NETFLIX  FREEZE ON MY APPLETV??

    WHY DOES MY NETFLIX FREEZE ON MY APPLE TV?

    Tested my appleTV2 on Comcast 26mbps down = no hiccups or freezes
    Tested on Time Warner NYC 10Mbps down  = pauses, hiccups, freezes (on Netflix and iTunes rentals)
    Therefore I assume it is the service provider, not Netflix
    One other problem: it takes a very long time to connect to iTunes for Podcasts (spinning wheel) on both Comcast and Time Warner - Therefore I believe that is Apple Server delay.

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM

    About NVRAM and PRAM
    However, I suspect you zapped the Mini, maybe the lower voltage part since you siad  the fan works.
    The power surge could have went into HDMI and damaged the TV.
