audio issue with streaming broadcasts

[DVD_NDN]

hi

this is 'newb man' again. total boner question....

Ive really slacked on this one. I let it go on for way too long.

I was once able to both watch and listen to streaming broadcasts. I cannot always do this anymore. While some sites have streaming video (and audio) which I can still watch and hear - for example anything with say an option of windows or winamp as the player - Other sites use flash.
Therein lay my problem folks. Flash player I suppose is my nemesis.
I have *no* idea what I'm doing, and it is frustrating the hell out of me lol.

utube, a streaming radio station out of toronto (I'm canadian, eh!), and again this odd little skit somebody put together spoofing starwars with legos. I suppose the nature of what I want to see and hear is irrelevant... but I mean really... I saw this video on utube one day, and it was a girl who sprayed milk out of her nose when she heard a joke.
........ I didnt get to hear the joke.

somebody. pitty me. share with me the secret of fash player. where did I fork it all up?
(yes I'Ve updated, I tried it in IE and in my trusty Firefox browser... no luck)

You might try "needs more cowbell"'s registry fix here:

There are a few other suggestions in the link in his post if that doesn't work.

I'd back up the registry first just in case it screws anything up. ERUNT is very good for that, and free. It restores also if you need it.
