'For some reason all your video clips stop after only a few seconds. The load bar shows that the clip loads to completion but the damn thing will not play. Every one of the other sites I visit give me no problem. Wazzup? This has only happened since I had to get a new puter and was forced to use Vista. Might there be a connection, old chap? I am getting frustrated as I really do get off on some of your aviation stuff because I am a sulphurous old retired fighter pilot.'
Anyone know the solution to this problem?

Most likely it is a Firefox problem and Flash animation. Google "video stops after 2 seconds" to see numerous problems with this.
It happened to me after upgrading to Firefox 3. For me, installing the Firefox add-on Flashblock did the trick.

Must be something else. They work for me, and I've had Vista from the start. Try googling your problem.
I have the same problem on my PC which runs XP when I view the site with Firefox, but it works ok if I use IE.
On my laptop which has Vista, the site works ok with Firefox. I think it may be a security setting on Vista because iPlayer doesn't work.
Go figure...
Same problem with me when I use any other browser other than IE. I will try the flash block on firefox and see if that works.
I am the 0826 poster. Just d/l and installed the flashblock the 1st post suggested, works fine now.
Thanks
I had the same problem with XP and Firefox. I updated Flash and it's all good now.
Fear & loathing of Bill Gates (without whom probably nothing would work)& Windows is usually the problem...the thought that ANY alternative is better. Get a life.
Contrary to wishful thinking, WinXP is (relatively) problem-free & if you do your maintenance regularly you'll encounter no cardiac arrest.
Happens to me (XP and Vista) if the comps have been on a long time; restarting (to clear out leaked memory) fixes it up (or if I'd shut the @%@#% down at night I'd have no worries :)
By golly, the Firefox add-on Flashblock did the trick for me too. Jeez, what a great blog. Not only do I agree with its political and military views, but I now have solved the video freeze-up I have been experiencing since installing Firefox 3.
Like I said - what a GREAT blog.
Problem sorted. Many thanks Russtovich.
Bingo! Thanks Russ. Works like a charm.
