Unable to load and show videos from PBS

[dsears]

I can not get PBS.org/nbr videos to play on my computer. There is a laptop
in the house that will play these videos. Both my computer and the laptop
are connected to a router. I have tried to duplicate the security settings
on both machines. Pop up blocked has been removed from that web site, even
though they are blocked on the laptop. The pbs site will come up offering
the videos, however, the videos seem to almost load, the 'circles' indicating
the video downloaded, however, it will not show. If this is not the news
group for this problem, please send me there. What can I do to make these
videos show??? I do not have any problems with videos from YouTube etc. dsc

These videos appear to be Shockwave videos.
Do you have a Shockwave Player installed?

John: Thanks for the suggestion but after installing Shockwave, same problem.

I would like to add--on the msnbc.msn.com web site there are a selection of
videos. Those the show 'msnbc.com in the address will play where as those
with nbcsports.com in the address will not play. Go figure
