Frequently Asked Questions

Billing Issues:

Q. How do I cancel a recurring membership?
A. "Go to My Account" and check "Recurring/Cancel Membership". Your subscription will not renew, but will be valid to the end of the period you have paid for.
 
Q. Why is my application for membership rejected?
A.
1. You may be in a country that we do not accept credit card payments from.
Please contact the card processor(s) directly using the links on their
signup page - we don't process credit cards are therefore unable to help
you with this.

2. You may not physically be in the country the card was issued in. Solution:
use a card issued in the country you are trying to join from.

3. You may have disputed payment with an Internet site in the past. Solution:
don't dispute charges you make.

Login Issues:

Q. Why can't I login?
A. If you have trouble loging in, in most cases closing all open browsers and starting over will fix the issue.
**Important**
  • Don't click on any bookmarked links to the site.
  • Make sure you are using the correct login (remember also that logins are CaSe sEnsitiVE).
  • If you still can't get in and are redirected to the login page (or don't
    even see the login page), download and install Firefox. Use Firefox to access our sites.
  • If you are using the AOL browser, download and install Firefox. Use your AOL browser only to establish an Internet connection, then open Firefox and use that to access our sites.

Site Performance Issues:

Q. Why can't I play your videos?
A. Streaming movies require that you have nothing on your computer or network that interferes with the communications between our streaming servers and your computer. The following can cause blockage of these transmissions and therefore the inability to play streaming movies:
  • Corporate networks
  • Hotel networks
  • Badly configured home router, like a wireless network
Q. Why won't Windows Media play on my computer?
A. You need to install the Windows Media player to view any of our streaming movies and clips. To download and install the Windows Media Player go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia and follow the installation instructions.

Q. I have a fast Internet connection, yet your streaming movies don't play smoothly:
A. Update your player to Windows Media 11.
NOTE: if you are not on DSL or cable, forget about streaming the movies, they will never look good.

Q. I am a Macintosh User, how can I play WMV movie files?
A. In order to play WMV clips on the mac you need to download the Windows media player component from Flip4Mac.

  4. Manually browse to the Windows Media Player application and select it.
