Flash movie freezes on pc

Hi! I have a web site with 2 flash movies, (.flv) imbedded it in. It plays fine on most pc's on the net I've found, except for the one at my work, it has XP and flash 8 installed. The movies play for like 2 seconds then freeze, always at the same spot. Any clues?

 

how old are the work pc's? I am sure you know, but flash is a huuge resource hog, making even some of the above average pc's stutter.

if you right click the flash, and select low quality, does that help?
silly I know, but people have been known to change a lamps bulb before plugging it in(i'm living proof last night!)
wish I could help more

 

I thought of that too, but I wonder why they both stop at the same time. I had another movie on the site last month that played fine at work, same size movie too. The difference now is that there are two movies on one page, but they only start when you select play from their control pads, not automatically. One thing I forgot to mention, which may affect it too, is the web speed is like 56k, not broadband, but the old flash still played at that speed before. .

 

Hi,
When you mention "Flash" are you refering to the "Free Macromedia Flash Player"

Please come back with a reply

 

I'm referreing to the flash movie on my site. Most people have told me it plays fine, but the pc at work frezzes after about 2 seconds, always in the same spot. The pc is probably a pent II, not much ram, but if that was the case, why would it stop at the same points?
