Anyone here uses Netflix?

Post by Moonyju »

So I decided to sign up to Netflix and see what the craze is about. Get my 1-month free trial, all good.

All good?
Not really.

For some reason, I can't watch videos.
I've tried with three browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome). For all three, Netflix tells me to disable Private Browsing. In one instance (Firefox), it asks me to set the browser so that it remembers my history.

Now.. I've checked all that... and in all three browsers, Private Browsing was already disabled. And Firefox is already set up to remember my history.
I also have the latest version of Silverlight.
I use Windows XP (Professional Edition, if it matters).

I'm asking around before calling them for support. =)

Any ideas?

Thanks! :D

Do you have Windows Media player installed?

I have to admit I watch Netflix on my PS3, Kindle Fire or iPod. Sometimes we watch on Seamus's computer.

We have Netflix, don't have cable. I use Win 7, Vista, and an iPhone. Never had problems with viewing anything. I would definitely call Customer Service, they would be able to fix you up I would imagine.

PS.... I didn't have to do anything with all those settings, just install Silverlight. Oh, I use Firefox on the PC's by the way.

Sorry I don't know more to help, but..... calling is what I would do.

Yes, Windows Media player is installed. =)

I'm just asking around see if people would have ideas of what I could try before I call. =)

Thank you!
