Recently I have been trying to view content that is viewable only with WM 9. Unfortuneately, it doesn’t load, pressing any of the buttons does nothing, and wm just remains blank. I am running a firewall (Sygate). The most recent example of this is here: [http://media.ehacked.com/?cat=cool&v=mouse\_trap](http://media.ehacked.com/?cat=cool&v=mouse_trap) and I was not able to watch the movie. Could someone please help?

Have you tried kicking the computer repeatedly while screaming why won’t you work? why?

Okay that has never actually worked for me but now I have a custom modified case and a noisy fan, however, it did relieve stress 🙂
