Internet video won't play

[md4peace]

When I try to watch any CNN video, nothing plays. WHen I click on the play/pause indicator I get "02:37" in large type across the video area. The same thing happens to any video. It happens in Safari, Firefox, and in IE in virtual Windows through VMWare. THe same thing happened earlier in the year, then it seemed to resolve itself for a few months but now the problem is back. NOthing I try seems to help. I am using Mac Pro (early 2008) OS X 10.6.4

What steps have you tried?
For instance, have you tried playing those problematic videos via another computer?

And so on.

What I've tried

The video plays fine on my laptop and my iMac. I've rebooted, done repair permissions, tried a different user. I'll try reinstalling flash as suggested.
