There is a bug in the latest version of Internet Explorer (No8) which prevents Flash (.flv files) movies from playing ( this is the name given to the type of video we use on SalfordOnline) but once Microsoft have ironed out the errors with IE8 things will go back to normal. In the meantime, the following should solve the problem.
There are 2 easy ways to overcome the problem: 1) View your Internet through a Firefox browser instead of Internet Explorer, this is an alternative and popular option and can be downloaded here: http://en-gb.www.mozilla.com/en-GB/ 2) Alternatively, you can go back to using the previous version of Internet Explorer by uninstalling the new version, incidentally the upgrade probably took place without you realising it via an automatic update.
