What type of video are they - Flash/WMP?

Above should work for WMP, if Flash based, ensure he has the latest Flash player from www.adobe.com

In YOUR opinion... In my opinion it's not, hence why I don't use it. I prefer IE7 - you prefer FF. Not everyone thinks the same!

Reminds me of them annoying as fuck born again christins that constantly ram the gospel of christ down your throat! I usually tell them to STFU and give it a rest too
