Can't view any movies in either browser using WinXp

Hey guys, not sure if this is the proper forum, but it's the only one I thought was appropriate. Anyways, I can't view any movies within any of my browsers. If I go to a site like gorillamask to check out a funny movie, the site's built in Media Player opens with a black screen like it's getting ready to start up, but then it does nothing. here is a screenshot of what it does. It just sits there. Nothing happens when I click the play button.

any ideas where I should even start at all in troubleshooting? I don't remember doing anything, no changes or anything. It just...stopped playing videos. Firefox, Netscape, IE, neither one plays movies for me.

Thanks, Major Geeks

1.DL new version of Flash player(recommended for most web sites even if you have WMP).
2.Check your internet conection,and your firewall settings.
