    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You will need to install the Adobe Flash player for it.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    I forgot to mention i have Adobe player installed and configured to be a plugin in mozilla firefox... My problem isnt that i cant get videos to work at all.. I am having trouble with videos working fine some times on some sites, not working at all on other sites, and some sites video will work for a few moment then stop drawing to the screen turning the embedded video just completely white as if it was not there at all.

    Have you tried these sites with Chrome? Also, is this a 32-bit FF or 64-bit?

    Ah thank you sparked my brain... I have been trying to limit my system to only 64bit software but i thought maybe that i might need the 32 bit version because the webservers might not use 64bit
