Comments
I can't get any videos to play with Flash 10.1. I am running a compatible video card with the required video drivers as specified in the 10.1 release notes. I tried several video sites and none of them will play. I was all excited to have a version of Flash that didn't have the chops. Oh well, back to the POS 10.0.
