Just a few thoughts:
1. In IE (I've 5.5, but it will be comparable in 6.0, I think): Tools/Internet Options/Advanced, go down to multimedia and see if "play animations" (and "video's"?) is checked.
2. Download and install (or reinstall) flash 7 player and shockwave player from www.macromedia.com/downloads.
The coding in the hallmark-page shows it to need shockwave, and it works with me. However, I can't get to the download page of shockwave at the moment for some reasons (page not found), which might be the cause of your problems also. It seems to me the page will ask you to download shockwave (if you haven't done so already), and maybe this goes wrong if the site can't be reached automatically.
If I try by hand: the download link at http://www.macromedia.com/software/shockwaveplayer/ points to http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/, which gives 'page not found'.
So tell your wife it's macromedia's fault (not yours) if you can't get to it either. And keep trying. It should be repaired by them.

My wife enjoys sending e-cards from the Hallmark site.
Recently she has been unable to compose cards that are marked: Flash. (All the other cards present no problem) The box in which the card is composed comes up and the download proceeds until one item remains. It then stops and no card appears.
Can anybody help as she blames me for anything that goes wrong on the computer
Thanks
