Troouble with Flash - I think
This page won't load in FF or IE in Windows, all I get is a blank, white page. Loads fine in Linux. I had another page that did the same thing, tested it in both browsers with the same result.
Installed new MMFplayer plugin. Shows it's installed and activated in FF plugins. Went to MMFPlayer test page, works fine there.
Tried it without AV, tried it without Firewall, page just won't load. Others have tested it for me in both browsers and it works fine.
Page that won't load: http://i.euniverse.com/funpages/cms_content/13180/HillaryCondi_HoDown.swf

I can't figure out what's going on. _________________

Hey O, It worked fine for me too in Windows XP Media Center Edition and IE 6.0.
There is a slight delay with a blank screen while the page downloads, but there is a download symbol in the bottom left corner of the status bar. _________________ RunnerBiker ¿

I just noticed something interesting.
The link I supplied in my first post doesn't "light up" in green for an active link when I run my mouse over it but the one I just posted for MexTourism does.
BTW, a FF newsgroup member supplied this link for me. Looks like I might be able to track down what's buggy.

It was my HOSTS file
One of the ng members recommended that I disable my HOSTS file long enought to try the site and see if that was blocking it. It was!!!
Before wading through the HOSTS file, I updated my MVPS hosts file, tried the site again and it loaded fine.
If anyone's interested in having a really top-notch HOSTS file, go here.
MVPS HOSTS file
Back in the "olden" days when I was building my own HOSTS file to block stuff, I'd have paid money for the above file. It's a winner! _________________
