    Don't know what I'm doing wrong here but I cant seem to view any videos with Firefox. I went ahead and download Macromedia Flash Player and I still cant view any videos (Cnn, Yahoo's News etc...etc...)

    Check to see if WMP is installed and running. I know CNN uses a WMP plug in.

    Also, check to see if QuickTime is interfering with anything. I've had a few times where it would steal file associations and screw something up like that.

    thanks for the quick reply. I do have WMA install. I have no issue when using IE but for some weird reason I do with Firefox. What do I have to do with quicktime? Do i have to un-install then re-install? Thanks
