Macromedia doesn't Play

[Doofusbrain]

I go to this webpage, and macromedia installs, but plays nothing. I
went to macromedia's homepage, installed it from there and it works.
But here,I just get a loading page for over tenminutes. There is no
communication going on when this hapens. I have Comcast, so I know its
not too slow.

Two things come to mind, three actually,
1) are your security settings in Internet Explorer set to Default?
2) are you using a popup blocker that also blocks Macromedia ads?

ps-in reply to: "That is a lead in to a porn site.....,
what the difference what kind of site it is?

MTV is a porn site? It might be considered porn in Muslim countries
but not in the Western world...

that doesn't work. It looks for a directoy and doesn't find it.
Therefore it doesn't install.
This is not for the program,just the IE plugin that allows me to view
Flash animations and the like on webpages.

Yes, IE is set to default. No popup blockers other than Windows XP
SP2's built in one. It doesn't trigger though. In otherwords I don't
get an error saying this popup was blocked.
