    NETFLIX INSTANT VIEW ERROR
    « on: January 30, 2011, 10:55:01 AM »
    I have had Netflix account for a year and never had a problem until now.... I cannot view instant movies now, error code: N8007 appears and when I do what it says, it doesn't work.  I think there is a problem with silverlight... but I uninstalled silverlight and re-installed still same thing.
    Does anyone know my problem, maybe a software compatibility issue??

    Are you sure it uses Silverlight, not Flash Player?  And, what about Windows Media Player?  Is it needed for the "instant movies"?

        Hi Fellow Computer hope user.

        I am an avid Netflix user and my machine doesn't have Silverlight. Per Netflix' web page it is not required either. The requirements are:

        Complete System Requirements
        To watch instantly, you'll need a computer that meets the following minimum requirements:

        •Windows
        ◦Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Vista or Windows 7
        ◦Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher
        ◦1.2 GHz processor
        ◦512 MB RAM
        •Mac
        ◦An Intel-based Mac with OS 10.4.8 or later
        ◦Safari 3 or higher; or Firefox 2 or higher
        ◦1 GB RAM

        Under your account info is a link" Problem watching instantly?" in the lower right hand corner. It's a trouble shooting app. I would try that and see where it leads you. I'm guessing its a software conflict.

        Good luck!

        I was going to say if it required Silverlight Netflix would be 1/10th the size it is...
