Fixing CNN Video Problems...Yet Again

May 26, 2009

Months ago, I reported that video at CNN.com had stopped working on my Web browser. Previously, the culprit was the ad blocker in Symantec’s firewall. Turn it on—no video. Turn it off—video played. Well, one of the latest IE updates broke CNN video and I’ve lived without pretty much all year. Fortunately, a helpful commenter just left this message on my previous blog:

This worked for me. In Internet Explorer go to Tools, Internet Options, Security, Custom, User data persistence and change it to Disable and restart the web browser. Good Luck

Hey! It worked!

CNN embedded code does not work with IE. It works with FF. Any suggestion?

Sorry "me," I don't use fireFox frequently enough to go search out the answer. Try Google.

This worked like a champ. So easy. This became one of many problems when uninstalling Realtech '97 Audio driver which I'll never do again.

That worked for me. I haven't been able to view CNN video for quite a while and didn't realize it was IE. Thanks
