I get a broken X after clicking the initial image. :(


I ended hiring someone to "just fix it!"

Apparently the homepage (freedomtoolsllc.com/index.html) has been fixed so that it works in IE.
But, the backup index page (freedomtoolsllc.com/index4.html) hasn't yet been fixed.

Am I correct, though, that we now ARE able to open the embedded YouTube video, as found on the homepage, in IE?

Thanks.

P.S. I'll let you know as soon as I find out what the fix was.

1. The link to the site in question is freedomtoolsllc.com/index4.html


I've experimented a bit with different players:

When I downloaded the newest free 'Shockwave player' from Adobe:
http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

I can play the movie when I use this link:
http://freedomtoolsllc.com/

When I try the link in youre quote, I can see the button on the movie, but when I try to play, I get again a white rectangular with a little red X in the upperleft corner.
I do not know why one link works and why the other does not???

PS. I am working in Windows 7, Ultimate, 64-bit with Internet Explorer 8, 32-bit.

Hmmm... Is anyone able to open the embedded video within IE without first upgrading the Shockwaver player?

Works fine for me without having to do any updates in FF 3.6.8 & IE 8.0.6001.18702

Yes, it works on my browser.
