Chromecast problem

Invested in a chromecast dongle for our TV in the dining room which doesn't have access to our Virgin box & is so basic it only receives normal freeview. Had a quick muck about with it & got my missus laptop to connect fine, could cast everything to it although some streamed videos where a bit jerky which we put down to her laptop not being powerful enough to stream properly. So I tried to get my laptop to do the same but found I could only connect to it from YouTube, if I tried to cast from any other webpage etc. all I got was the message 'No cast Devices Found'.

Not been very successful finding help on the net as everything seems to assume you are casting from an Android device so thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has any ideas or can point me to a sight where I can ask for help.

Only thing I can think of which is a major difference between our 2 laptops is that hers is running Win 7 64 bit Home Edition & mine is running Win 7 64 bit Professional edition.
