I'm not having any problems

I'm not having any problems opening the PDF, just playing an embedded video is the problem.

The standard downloaded mag version is OK.

OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

This dialog message is what

This dialog message is what comes up.

"Warning JavaScript Window" < < heading

"Acrobat has encountered a problem while trying to play this media clip." < < message

This happens with any embedded video clip.

I'll try "Foxit" and see how it goes.

It could be a Java problem because I've had problems where Java updates have failed & I've not done anything about it.

Cheers

FoxIt doesn't work either

FoxIt doesn't work either.

It open Windows Media Player & that's all it does.

Make sure you have the latest quicktime installed

These videos need a recent version of Quicktime installed. Google download Quicktime and install the latest and greatest. That should solve your problem.
