Programming, .NET, Silverlight & More

I like to watch Netflix but the silverlight they give you is 32-bit but I have Windows 7 so 32 bit doesn’t work for me.

How can i download online videos playing in microsoft silverlight?

Is there any tools, addons or software for downloading videos streaming in microsoft silverlight?+
thanks.

Nope. That’s why so many online video sites are switching over to it.

I was trying to get rid of any unnecessary programs I have and I happened to notice Microsoft Silverlight just sitting there.
Should I keep it or if it’s not useful is it okay to just uninstall it?
Thanks for whoever wants to answer my question!!

I hav used it ….it takes a lot of space and does not serve the purpose so that u may notice it…
go to add and remove and remove it ….

I am a web designer and have always used dreamweaver, i have recently came into a job with a small company and they want to cut costs and not purchase Dreamweaver so they want to know if I can use silverlight. I do not know anything about C# or Xaml and I want to know if it is worth my time and effort to invest in learning it, and faceing not being able to use certain programs (flash,illustrator,dreamweaver) i really do know dreamweaver and i could really use the advice on the Silverlight Program.

Silverlight is an application framework that requires the use of either C# or VB. It’s an extension of .NET and you can easily mess with Silverlight inside of Microsoft Expression Studio. Silverlight does not work with Adobe programs since Adobe somehow thinks that Flash is still the best thing in the world. Transitioning from Adobe to Microsoft web development products isn’t all that bad…it just takes a bit of time adjusting to Microsoft controls and conventions, but I did it in less than 2 weeks.

I was looking at rune hq the other day, and the def bonus is higher than the rune scimitar. Does this mean I will level up defence faster using silverlight?

Defense bonus on the Silverlight is to reflect or avoid being hit. This does NOT contribute to your maximum hitting or hit percentile.

The Rune Scimitar has a +45 attack bonus, which means higher maxing and more chance to hit. Silverlight has +14 attack bonus, which is substantially lower then the Rune Scimitar.

SO: Rune Scimitar is better.

I try to play a movie on netflix and it always crashes and says my microsoft silverlight plug-in has crashed. I tried re-installing it, nothing worked. I tried all the different browsers and nothing is working. Help?

I would try restarting your computer and see if it works. If it doesn’t then you might to get a new computer! :O

I had streaming netflix on my laptop and every single time at 97% it will say "Silverlight crashed". Just to make sure I uninstalled my windows live and then reinstalled it, Tried again, same thing. I even tried different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari) and it still doesn’t work. PLEASE HELP!!!
Windows Live comes with Silverlight
Now I tried unstalling then installing silverlight still no luck

Windows Live? Why would you uninstall that? Uninstall Silverlight and reinstall it. The problem should go away.

Edit:
You have that backwards I think. SIlverlight can be installed as part of Windows Live but Silverlight is a completely different software and can be installed/uninstalled independently of Live.

There is a big problems about silverlight on my computer. I can not uninstall it completely. I have tried many times to remove it on Safe Mode of Windows system. I have no idea to uninstall it now. Are there any silverlight removal tool?

My solution that worked for me is to use a silverlight removal tool that you can free download from the link below.

After you open this program,Select Silverlight from the list and choose "Force Uninstall" to uninstall Silverlight, and then download Silverlight again and reinstall it.

I’m getting sick of Microsoft assuming what is good for my PC and what is not. This Microsoft Silverlight is in my super important most needed updates. I’m not a secretary, I don’t care about ipods or phones, I JUST WANT MY ONLINE GAMES TO RUN WITHOUT LAGG!!!

Does Microsoft care about online games??? I seriously doubt it!

Silverlight was Microsoft’s attempt to take some market share from Adobe Flash. It’s a very similar product. Not many sites other than MS sites run with Silverlight though, and I’ve yet to find an MS site that didn’t run without it. I uninstall it and mark it as ignored in updates whenever possible.

i don’t want any .zip files because I don’t know what to do with those. But i tried to download it for netflix but it asks for an administrative password. i don’t want to go in and hack the computer but if thats the only way then its okay. Could I take the file from home on a pindrive and use it that way?

Public access systems, if they are properly secured, do not permit just anyone to ‘install’ anything…especially powerful scripting junk like Silverlight.
Lockdown would include USB & disk bays.
Initial impression I get ("asks for an administrative password") tells me this is the scenario.
