Can I ask what version of Windows the computer is running that iPlayer does work on? This might be where the problem lies!

(Just researching Windows versions now)

It is running Vista Home basic and i use Opera.

I am am close to giving up on it.

I can watch things on the iplayer website but just cant download the things i want to watch while not online and also the dam icon dont work in the desktop.

Its giving me a sore head lol

Also when i downloaded the iplayer it downloaded the flash player as well but i cant see that on my pc.


I have just found the flash player on pc and its the Adobe Air and 10 that ive got.

According to this, Vista Home basic isn't a supported operating system, but since it works on the other computer, that can't be the problem.

I assume this doesn't apply?

The flash player should be in the add/remove programs list near the top as adobe flash player active
x/plugin. Do you see adobe air in that list?

I have found it and its Air ive got on there as well as 10 but as i say wont let mke get into via the desktop icon or download the tv shows.

The player seem to have installed itself as its in the Add/remove bit but wont let me get to it via the desktop icon or let me download the tv shows.

Unfortunately I can't think of anything else just at the moment. Maybe someone else'll be along in a few hours!
