What happens in a test profile?
Thanks Peter,
What happens, happens pretty fast. I do appreciate your
help. If you have figured this out, and so I can deal with
this in the future, were you saying in your previous post to
hit F11 as soon as I see the opening web page to stop the
WMP version from starting? That might be helpful if I ever
visit this site again (not likely) but not if I stubble on
another web site that does the same thing without my
anticipation or and without warning.
Beyond this specific example, once a video starts, as this
one does, how to stop it without shutting down? Losing
control over the computer is my principal concern.
No. I have not created a test profile yet. I am hoping
someone knows how to defeat an "attacking" video.
I think it's possible the problem you're seeing is the result
of a problem in your profile. This is why the request to try
the page in a test profile.
For example, when I browse to that page, I don't see the same
problem you're seeing. The page seems to work correctly.
If you try it in a test profile and don't have the problem,
then you can starting looking at what in your profile may
be causing the problem.
Thanks for your help.
I tweaked WMP 11 by unchecking Rub script commands in
security, and unchecking multicast stream in network.
I created a new TEST profile.
The same thing happens.
I tried this link in IExplorer.
The same phenomenon.
Peter, were you able to stop the video from playing either
before it started or while it was playing? If so, what did
you do? Since I have no on-screen controls, I am paralyzed
until it stops on its own.
