Can load all the sites mentioned but some will play the animation others either black screen or fail or just sit there like something should be happening but the picture for instance remains still.

Tried the link you posted and can get the nescafe jiggly picture.

One other thing i should have added is it also affects sound sometimes get the links working but with no sound yet other links work perfect.

I am not on an NTL connection but a Pipex ADSL connection which was another thing i forgot to add.

Used to use Zone Alarm prior to a reformatt and now use Kerio Firewall and never had any such problems that could not be tweaked before.

I have tried opening links in new windows copy and pasting the links and trying later all to no avail and am still trying to work out whether it could be a firewall setting or browser setting etc etc.

Thanks again m8 my quest will continue.

Well, from what i can see after peering into the advanced internet options in IE6 there doesn't seem to be anything there that would affect playing flash. I had a look in mine and have all of the options in the multimedia section selected- this is the best place to look for any settings that might affect it.

The other thing i can think of is have you been playing around with hijack this?

I see an entry in my log:

O16 - DPF: {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} (Shockwave Flash Object) - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...sh/swflash.cab

it is a long shot, but if you have deleted this then it might be stopping flash plugins from working properly... it might be worth reinstalling flash from the macromedia site and see if this makes any difference.

have you got a different browser that you can try?

I will have a look at the sites in a little bit more detail and scratch my head a bit more... i do like a challenge

Oh and i can tell that you are not on an ntl connection... if you were an ntl customer then you would be blaming ntl straight away
