Hi freechoice :-)
Try checking your security settings, and set them at medium or low to see if that will allow you to view the videos. Be sure to reset them to the previous setting if different if it does not help.
Also, some types of videos may be seen as a popup or adware by your popup blocker, firewall, or AV. Disable the popup blocker and see if that helps.
Also check to see if your host file or adblocker blocking is set to: oas.foxnews.com

A few other things could contribute to the problem. Have you checked your
firewall to see if the ad-blocker or Flash blocker is set to on or block? Some Flash has pop-ups and the blockers will see them as ads and kill it any way.
Also, if you have SpywareBlaster installed, be sure you have Kill Flash unchecked - Open SpywareBlaster - Tools - Click on Flash Killer then uncheck "Switch off Flash Player" or in v3.1 Disable and block Macromedia Flash (4X 5X & 6X) in Internet Explorer.
also..
Flash player is an ActiveX control, so be sure your Security settings will allow ActiveX.
If still now joy,
Remove Flash, including all registry entries for it. Reboot then go to Macromedia's site. Since it is Flash based you should get the dialog to install Flash. Use the removal information at their site here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/playerfaq.htm#remove
and some additional information here:
Macromedia Flash Player Download Center Windows http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash and Macromedias Support and Training http://www.macromedia.com/support/
Hope this helps.
