try uninstalling flash player from your computer in control panel and then reinstall the latest version via adobes website (google flash player)

this may well resolve the problem

if not post back

why? how far have you gotten

have you downloaded the installer file yet?

if not

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

the download link is on the right

you just need to pick the right version depending on your os and web browser of choice

ifyou have downloaded it and are having issues with the installation, what error message appears? or what happens?

How are you connecting to the net and what speed is your internet connection?
Is this happening at all times of day or just in the evenings?
What web browser are you using-not the dreadul AOL bespoke stuff I hope?

It's usually an indication of a slow connection. Hit the pause button, let it download, then play it.

the connection speed is the same as it was when i was getting no trouble.
