Can't play web videos anymore
I downloaded VLC Media Player to watch some 3d modeling tutorials on my Windows XP-based pc. Prior to this I was able to view web videos such as Google Video. When I tried to view the videos after loading VLC I got a message that said the videos were not available...I removed VLC from my system, but am still unable to view the videos. What else should I check?

PS - the videos work fine from another machine. I've checked my Flash player, it is OK. Quicktime videos work. Windows media player videos work.

Wasn't using Macromedia and Adobe Flash Player was already installed. Added the Shockwave, but it still doen't work. Thanks for your idea.

Before a system restore, I decided to completely uninstall flash and shockwave, then reinstall. It worked. Back in video land again.

Temporary Fix
Apparently, the fix was only good for a few minutes. Video capability left as quickly as it appeared. Makes me wonder of there's some company filtering thing going on. Ironically, I'm trying to view some tutorial videos...
Edit - further discussions indicate company filtering of Google video site. Sorry to have troubled the community over an internal problem.
