My system is running Vista Home, FireFox 3.03 w/IE tab option.
After playing a CNN Video and "trying" to play another one, the video screen goes blank then eventually shows an error message " GENERAL ERROR ".
There is no references showing what the error code means or how/where to fix the problem.
The 1st video I play on CNN always plays flawlessly. It's when I go to play another that this issue appears.
What do I need to do to correct this issue ?
TIA

Have you fully updated your Flash, Java and Shockwave players?

Could just be a issue with the browser and that site. Have you tried a different browser?

I "had" an Video issue with IE 7, but I stopped filtering the Pop-up ads. I did this by Right-Clicking and there was an Option...."Stop Filtering this Site". CNN Videos started working in IE 7 directly afterwards.
I have yet to find out how to Stop Filtering in Firefox 3.05. Yes, I did go through, Tools-->Options-->Content and Added CNN.com to the EXCEPTIONS list under the Block Pop-Up windows option.
Please Advise.
TIA!
