2. yeah, I've seen post on tech boards that you have to install
flash player ten, I haven't tried it so I can't tell you if it will work or not. I've just been using ie 6 to view videos.

3. I had to update my codecs

not bought into firefox 3 as of yet due to issues such as this. Some of the problem is due to the websites themseleves. In addition, CNN requires another software to run. CNN Live should alert you to this. If you are still having problems uninstall Firefox and try again.

7. Thanks-I'll try that. Also, do you know how to make tabs viewable without having to
