Rick,
Look in IE - right click properties - advanced - multimedia I have 
everything clicked. save, done.
Then go to Adobe and dl Flashplayer if there is a problem then you won't see 
the animation so you know its not been installed.
Get shockwave as well. You may need 'active-x control installed too.
