    Check to see if you have directX 9.0 installed. Go to www.microsoft.com and click on the link for updates. Have it scan your computer and then download the required updates.

    Sometimes if you do not have service pack 2 it will not allow you to run video... Often though, the web site may recognize that you need a specific program or setting to work and inform you.

    I hope you have the latest version of Windows Media Player which is version 10. Certain sites nowadays require Quicktime Player to view videos through them. Given below are the sites from where you can download the latest versions of the softwares I've jus mentioned. Both are free versions.

    See if it'll play properly in Firefox, or another browser. Soemtimes Internet Explorer doesn't handle certain code properly.

    Try the link below. If you get it working with ABC it should fix the others too.
