Ditto. Now at least I know about what controls to try. ; )

I agree with RC, I think the problem is more likely to be your map.
E.g. when I zoom out to show the whole United States the animation
works fine but at the zoom level that you had it was stuck in a "Loading 2 of 0"
state. It's possible that that error could be due to another configuration
problem on my system. E.g. when I went to the Help page I got an Information
bar warning that the site wanted to use MSXML 5.0. Well, I have MSXML 6.0
and I'm not sure that I want to install MSXML 5.0 just for this. YMMV.

Try at least zooming out so you know that it isn't a problem with the data.

Those are other details that ProcMon might help you analyse. <eg>
However, you might get a few new clues by using Process Explorer instead.
E.g. with it when the map is loaded I can see (after doing a Ctrl-f for flash)
that iexplore.exe has Flash9f.ocx loaded. In my case it is loaded from
F:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx
Note the System32 in that path? I'm wondering if you might have two
choices for it on your x64 and if so which one is chosen?

Another possibility, particularly since you are getting messages from the
web site about x64, is that the OS in your User-Agent is confusing things.
In that case you could try changing your User-Agent so the OS is spoofed.
I don't know if the standard User-Agent overrides try spoofing the OS or not.

I'd say it was time for more testing so you can refine your
symptom description... ; )


Good luck

Well......curiously, I was finally able to install the Flash, but, I am not
finding anything for Macromed/Flash/Flash9f.ocx in my Windows/System32. I'm
running a search in the hard drive to see if it comes up elsewhere. There
is a Program Files and Program Files (86) and I checked both and found
nothing related to Macromedia or Flash. Yet, it says I have version 9
installed. So, hopefully the Search will let me know where it is.

Don't know about that one...how would I do that?

Ohh phooh! )

Ok...well.......the best I can refine my sympton description is:
Unfortunately, the map here will not appear at all.
http://www.weather.com/outlook/drivi...MapLayer=radar
I get the page and the framing and all, but, the map itself does not show.

The map on this page does originally display, but, after I click on the Show
map in motion tries to switch to the animation mode and just hangs:
http://www.weather.com/weather/map/U...adar_plus_usen

That is all that I can tell you about the symptoms. On this one I can't
Zoom out, that feature does not work on this map. Not sure what else you
are looking for as far as symptoms go. I'll do some more testing with the
Filemon and such, and see if it turns up anything, at least that I can
decipher.

What do you see in your browser add-ons? There should be an Adobe Flash
Object, at least.

No...there is nothing there for Adobe.
