    Hi,
    I have an Advent 7201 on Vista and all of a sudden it won't play videos. I've tried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it just won't play.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Going to need some more information here such as what sort of videos are you trying to play and what software are you trying to play them with. Are there any error messages when you try to play the videos? Does anything at all happen when you try to play the videos eg. sound but no picture?

    It's only on Internet Explorer that it won't work. Firefox it workds fine. When I go to watch a video it just stays blank, no black screen or anything.

    Try disabling third party browser extensions.

    Go to Tools -> Internet Options

    Select the "Advanced Tab" and scroll down and untick "enable third party browser extensions".

    Failing that use a better Internet Browser
