What browser you using mate?Internet Explorer check this setting, Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab and scroll down to Multimedia and see if them settings are correct, you could also use the Restore Advanced Settings button.

Is it just this site or all sites?
I had the same type of problem on all sites using Internet Explorer. Fixed it by deleting 'Temporary Internet Files'
Go to Tools - Internet Options - Delete - Temporary Internet Files - Delete Files.
Give it a try

Internet Explorer is the worst browser and brilliantly unsecure. Change to Mozilla/Firefox.

What version of IE are you using ? the only version that is rock solid is IE6 --- IE7 causes problems on some PCs and IE8 is still in beta.

I would recommend downloading Mozilla Firefox 2 or Mozilla Seamonkey if either work you know you have an IE fault.

Firefox 2 for Winsows Download (English UK)
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.16&os=win&lang=en-GB

Seamonkey for Windows download
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-1.1.11&os=win&lang=en-US

not sure what version of internet explorer i got. pc is about 5-6 years old!! i cleared the files seems better now but for how long, not sure. its not only this site happens on others too, just this one seems the worst. Probably because im on it too much.
thanks for your help guys, think i will give that mozilla or firefox a try.
