CNET flash videos not working now

by burbankjones May 30, 2007 3:27AM PDT

I use Firefox, and normally have no problems. I can watch CNET flash videos from the CNET TV links, but if I search for a video, and try to watch it, it won't work. Or, for example, on today's page there is a video here http://reviews.cnet.com/Microsoft_s_Surface_computing/4660-10621_7-6737942.html?tag=cnetfd.mt

and this will not play. Anybody else having this problem? They used to play. These don't play on my Mac or my Windows machine. Is this a recent problem at CNET?

Works For Me... Have You Tried??

by Grif Thomas Former Forum moderator May 30, 2007 4:19AM PDT

First, uninstall Flash by using the Flash Uninstaller at the link below..

Once that's done, then visit the site below and reinstall Flash..

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&%3BLang=French&%3BP5_Language=French

If you have more than one browser, visit the second link with each browser.. For example, Firefox and Internet Explorer install Flash in different ways. Firefox downloads an installer file where you then install from.

Hope this helps.

Still not working

Nope. Still not working. I have the latest version of flash, and as I say, CNET TV videos work fine. And they are Flash. So I can't understand why the other flash videos on CNET don't work.
