Page with embedded video does not load

On certain pages with embedded videos, I get this lovely error message:

---------------------------
Windows Internet Explorer
---------------------------
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://www.saabsunited.com/2009/02/s...-on-video.html.

Operation aborted


---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I have tried with three (or four) different IE7 installations. They all
fail. Firefox works.

Any ideas or just hope this is fixed in IE8?

More than likely it's the way the site is coded that is causing the error
that you are seeing. I get the same error message here in both IE6 and IE7
when visiting the site you posted. IE6 will eventually load the site after
dismissing the Error alert, but IE7 will not display the site after
dismissing the Error alert message.

The site states the following:
Some people using Internet Explorer have trouble watching video here. If
that's you, then click here to watch it a Google Video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...31037400&hl=en
or
you can watch it on YouTube:

So evidently they are aware of the issue but refuse to fix it, contact the
Web Site about the issue.

Good luck,

IMO IE should display what it can, rather than fork out into nowhere.

I quite frankly posted here because I found no place to file a IE bug report.
