Unable to view videos on certain sites

I will throw this at you guys and see what you can come up with.

For some reason I am unable to view videos on two different sites and I'm not sure what the problem is. The first site is Adult Swim, but it isn't the entire site. The only area I have trouble with is Adult Swim Fix. When I open the page all it says is "Download the latest version of Flash", which I have. The second site is CNN. When I try to bring up the video news, the pop up appears with everything in it. Everything except for the video that is.

I have tried these sites on different computers and they work fine. To my knowledge, these are the only places where I am having this trouble. It might be my flash program, it could be Norton, it could be those sites..I just don't know. If anyone can think of any reason why I might be getting these errors, please let me know. Also, if you need any specs, just request. Thank you for your time.

Corrupted Macromedia Flash files?

Can try going to Macromedia's site and force a reinstall. Then also the question is what browsers were you using? if there is a difference there then it might be something more to look into.

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried to force a reinstall from the Adobe sight but it just says "Installation Complete". I then uninstalled the flash player and reinstalled it. It is the same as it was before.

I was only using IE7 but then I tried Firefox, which gave me the same result. The only difference between the two is Firefox has me download something onto the desktop to install, where IE7 just shows the completion message. Using this method has still been unsuccesful.

Well the only alternative I could say is that the site may of done their own detection process and it's got an issue with your setup. If that's the case it's pretty much beyond your control, all you can do is contact the site and tell them you have issues with their detection process.

Some sites do create a detection process in their Flash player, if it's bad then the site will act like you don't have it installed and request you to install it. This seems to be the case for you since FireFox is reinstalling the Macromedia Flash again and it still doesn't work.

Just for a test if Adult Swim Fix is still erroring try this link: Adult Swim Fix (Shockwave Hijack)

If this link works then I would think it's something with their detection. Not 100% sure but I think I filtered out what would be doing that detection process. You should get the flash of that section of Adult Swim Fix, it's unusable though because it's not getting the feed from the site. That part was another section in the html.

Re: Unable to view videos on certain sites

I dunno if it's related but I had some Flash problems some time ago.

For some reason Flash seemed to stop working and SP2 was blocking it even though it was enabled in the ad-ons settings (This happened after a windows update).

I tried removing it (with the provided tool) and reinstalling it from the Adobe page but it was the same or wouldn't even let me install it.

The only way I could fix it was going to a page I know that uses Flash and lets you install it without going to Adobe.

That fixed the problem.
