Troubleshooting:
Multimedia files tend to be large, so users with slower Internet connections may experience short delays while loading Flash or video files. As always, Internet Explorer users need to click once on a Flash file to "activate" it before any links or buttons will work. If the video looks slow or jerky, try hitting the "pause" button and letting the video buffer for a while (check the loading bar and wait for it to reach the end for smoothest viewing). If you don't hear any sound, try turning up the volume of your computer speakers and checking if your computer volume has been set to mute.
If the Flash package doesn't open or videos won't play, you may need to download and install the latest version of the free Flash player from Adobe Systems, Inc. Note: If you're at work, you may have trouble downloading or installing Flash or other programs because of firewalls, lack of administrative rights, or other restrictions on your network or computer.
