Playing Shock/Flash videos

    I am trying to watch some videos on a car website on my new MBP and when I click on the video I am instructed to install Adobe Shock/Flashwave video software.....which I did.

    After I installed the Adobe software and try to play the video, I am just instructed to install the software again.

    I even tried to restart the MBP but with no luck.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Cheers.

    Yep, that's what I installed alright.

    Just checking security thingy now................and yes, plug in's box is ticked.

    I had to install Firefox and the videos play fine on that (and on IE on my old lappy)

    When you visit this site do you see the flash animations ?

    Check in:

    <hard drive> > Library > Internet Plug-ins > Can you see the flashplayer.plugin ?

    Yeah, i can see the flash on that site no probs and the flashplayer.plugin is there alright.

    Must be just the way the videos on the site are set up.

    This is the link to the videos I am trying to watch. Can you view the videos OK on your Mac Zen?

    cheers.

    Actually no I can't see them either. I've tried changing Safari to present it'self as IE7 but that didn't work either. I'm guessing the site just doesn't fully conform to the W3 standards.
