    What version of Flash are you using?
    I am having no problems viewing the videos that you put a link to.

    I ran a Secunia OSI scan this morning and was alerted that a new version of Flash became available within the past 24 hours. Hope that helps.

    Yeah, the new version was a couple of days ago. Secunia seems to stay behind of give false reports on things. Adobe products being one of them.

    OK, I updated to Flash 11.5 and it seems to be working. although at first it just froze the browser.
    I'll check it out again tomorrow to double check if its working properly
    Thanks for the help.

    My version of Flash is the same as yours was. Your link worked fine for me when I went there. I did look at other things there and they also worked fine. I prefer IE over FF. It is faster to me and I have never had a problem with IE.
