I just grabbed one and tried to play it....no go.
I see a reference to flash player which I don't have so that would it explain it for me.
If you do have flash installed you might want to test it.

Seems the only videos that won't play on my laptop, are from the cnet site. Anyone know why that may be and how to correct it. I'm signed in, auto play is on but any videos on your site just flash for a second then nothing but a black screen. Many Thanks in advance
