Web Cam??

At Fox News web site there a on the right side down towards the bottom, a box with live Baghdad web cam, requires Windows Media Player, which I have version 9.0. I cant get anything but a black screen, I have tried this at different times of the day with the same result. Could someone else try it and if they can get it what do I have to do? TIA.  Ronnie

    It worked for me a few minutes ago. It took a while before I got a picture,(with my cable connection) but even though it is night time over there you can still see the steets and buildings. Do you get a movie when you click on my link in my previous post ?

    pskelly:  I just tried, same results, shows buffering/playlist/playing at 44kbs, and it just cycles doing that and stays black. Do you have WMP 9.00? Maybe a setting somewhere. Any waythanks for response.  Ronnie
