Try clearing your cache and cookies. I sometimes get a terrible problem with them thinking im outside the UK when i have used a proxy to view something and I have to clear them out to restart watching..

Mind you I get told by random things im not where I am - especially twitter who seems to bounce me round the whole of the south sometimes. Which is fun.

Even speedtest likes to think im somewhere else.

I'll try that!

It's our IT departments stock answer..turn it off and back on again...funny thing is, it seems to always work

Good luck, I have got the same IT department, they even said that when I phoned them to say my PC wouldnt switch on, they asked me to try switching on and off again, I said I would love to me able to!!!

First go to this web address:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html

Here you'll find the flash settings in use on your PC. Select the second tab from the left 'global storage settings' and move the slider to the right until you have 1MB of space allocated. Then make sure the bottom two boxes are ticked (allow third party..... and store common flash...). Then give it a try
