Video doesn't play on sites like Fox.Com. I don't get a warning, pop up or the like. They do, however, play on Maxthon and other browsers. I cleared by cache, reinstalled and all the other typical hullabaloo to no avail.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
