Try to Play Video but starts download

Windows 8 wants to download the video but my other laptop with Vista plays right away.  What could be the problem?

I think it is pretty self evident in what you have said already (MS is always the problem!) :stuck_out_tongue: best guess is that Windows 8 lacks the compatible streaming protocols or codecs,  therefore it defaults to a download instead.

I figured it may be an OS thing and was hoping someone knew how to correct it.
