Double-click Internet Explorer icon on desktop.
On View menu (in IE 4) or Tools menu (in IE 5 and 6) click Internet Options.
In Internet Options dialog box, click Advanced tab.
Under Multimedia, check these boxes: Play Animations in web pages, Play sounds in web pages, Play videos in web pages, Show image download placeholders, Show pictures, and Smart image dithering.
Then click OK.
This worked for me. Good luck!
