In which browser is this?

Update your flash player to the newest version. Also check and make sure you have Shockwave installed.

Have you also tried this...?

Along with the Flash player and Shockwave make sure you have Java installed and up to date as well.

Adobe - Adobe Flash Player
^Flash Player

Adobe Shockwave Download Center
^Shockwave

Download Free Java Software - Sun Microsystems
^Java

There are the 3 major components needed to run online media.

are you running vista?

Sounds to me like a process is running from the games that won't allow the player to run.

This would have nothing to do with it. I run Vista with no issues what so ever.

Yeah, as mentioned would most likely be and updated version of Flash/Shockwave. I know plenty of times I've had problems with Flash movies/applications and then find there is a new version.
