From another thread where folks were having issues with video on MSNBC andCNN:
Problems with the CNN video feed were throwing me also despite my machine
having all the latest patches and doing a reinstallation of Windows Media
Player 10. Apparently it's a conflict with the Real Player. Here's what
solved the video problem for me:

Totally uninstall Flash:

Then reinstall:

(don't forget to uncheck the Yahoo toolbar box)

Do you have any toolbar or other helper application that blocks Flash? Some
toolbars that block pop-ups also have a Flash-blocker.
See this site for .reg file to make sure Flash is enabled in the registry:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm - line 363 on the left.
Download to your desktop and double-click to merge to your registry or right
click and choose Merge - or Edit to see exactly what modifications it will
make to your registry.
Check your security settings - Tools...Internet Options...Security tab,
click Internet Zone, click Custom, and make sure automatic downloads are
enabled. Ensure that "Download Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX
controls and plug-ins" are not disabled.
If you are behind a proxy server or are in an administered network
environment - they may be blocking Flash.
You can check for your Flash install status here:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
Tools...Manage Add-ons...change menu to "Add-ons that have been used by IE"
and make sure that "Shockwave ActiveX Control" and "Shockwave Flash Object"
are set to "enabled".
Try posting your issue to the Macromedia Flash support forum:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?catid=184&forumid=44
As you'll see, you are not alone in having trouble installing Flash, and
they have support engineers there monitoring the group.

I have had this problem a long time now. Whenever I try to open certain
videos in IE 6 I either get a blank screen in yahoo or I get messages such
as
this:
Error: 'movie' is undefined
Line: 63
URL:http://abc.go.com/fsp/embedded/daytimeindex.html
I have windows xp home and have downloaded all upgrades. I use Norton
Antivirus.
My internet provider has gone through all items in internet options
(security, advanced etc..) and was not able to help me fix the problem. I
have downloaded Flashplayer, mediaplayer, quicktime and everything else
and
nothing helps.
One strange thing though... when I run the embedded video on the yahoo
page
in the Today section it works. They have Quick Picks section on the same
page but the videos there do not run.
Please help. I have looked everywhere on the net for a solution.
