    Whenever I go on a site like IGN.com, I cant view any of the videos. They all just remain black and nothing happens. This happens on many other sites with flash video as well. It's the same with firefox and chrome, and I've tried to reinstall flash already. And help would be appreciated!

    Which M11x revision? (e.g. R1)

    Also, have you tried disabling hardware video acceleration in Flash options?

    my first thought reading the title of this threat was, 'he cannot flash his BIOS' that set aside some Q's: what OS are you in, Win 7? if so according to the clue's you're giving i think it is something in the OS that will not run active content of the internet. check things like your logon account (you're local admin right?) and UAC, all presuming you run Windows, if not discart all things noted here ;)
