If your "Shockwave Flash" plugin checks out okay but the videos still won't play you might check your other add-ons. Are you using the Flashblock add-on? It's possible for an Adblock Plus filter to cause problems so you could disable it long enough to find out. A site I sometimes listen to seems to be deliberately trying to not play nicely with Adblock Plus. The videos load and load and load and never play, except maybe for the very first one. To get around it, I have to center-click ABP to disable, click my bookmark to load the site, watch it load and at the instance the player appears center-click ABP to re-enable it. Then it'll play all day with no ads. :) I once had an Easylist filter clash with TV-Land. I kept getting "non-responsive" script messages. Pretty much locked Firefox up until it was good and ready to let me close the tab. Finally I noticed that it was only like that when I was using Easylist, Fanboy worked fine. I used ABP's "Report an issue on this page..." feature to report that. They fixed it somehow. I tried to figure out specifically which filter was causing it but I couldn't find it. Sorry, I suppose I'm getting off topic.

Hello, System Restore is a recovery feature in Windows 8 that allows you to restore your computer to a previous state. I'd consider doing that first, espically since there seems to more then 1 issue. Please see the link for System Restore instructions. Here is a link that might be useful: System Restore Windows 8 Computer

awe that's too bad it didn't work for you guys :( I guess I have an easy to brain wash mind. lol. my daughter too. I watched it and cleaned my desk. Then I went into my kitchen and envisioned it clean too. and I couldn't stop cleaning until it was done. Pretty weird. So that was on Friday, and I'm proud to say my kitchen and desk are still clean!!! I really should envision my other rooms clean but I'm not ready to go crazy like that again. It was weird because I couldn't stop. And now, when one of the kids or my husband puts a dish in the sink, I kinda feel compelled to clean it. I only watched the video 2x on Friday. It worked on some kind of nerve in my head even though it looked so stupid. When I envisioned my desk and kitchen clean I really saw it when my eyes were closed and seeing it clean in my mind made me so happy. I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders Next thing you know, I'm like a cleaning freak in a semi dream like state. Well that's not what it was really like but it sure didn't feel like it was me. sorry can't find the right words to describe it. I'm sorry it didn't work for any of you, but I'm soooo glad it worked on me. DH is happy too. I hope it's long lasting, because I never want to go back to a messy kitchen again. :) Laura

Carol & Kristine. You make me smile so much. Yes, Vapor has me second-guessing...we shall see. I will give away Boscobel, I've decided. Nothing wrong with the rose bush, but the flower color has never really grabbed me, and it's in a prime location and life is too short to not try a new rose bush that I might love! And, since Queen of Sweden is just not re-blooming for me and is just not fragrant, I might have to give up on her, too... I have new roses coming from Heirloom, and I haven't even ordered my new DAs yet. What am I thinking? Plus, I need an Augusta Louise...
