Could you try both of these links to see if either work?

• HTML5   video  
• Non-HTML5 video

Finally, what version is reported in stalled when you visit this page?

Flash Player Version

Thanks,

Chris

sorry forgot to add that its the latest version of flash player

Ok, if the non-html5 video played, then Flash Player is functioning.  What URL are you having problems with?
