Try again. Perhaps a temporary glitch. Runs OK here.

Works here, too. Windows XP Home and FF 2.0.0.13. I have Flash Block,
but you override that by clicking on the arrow in the middle of the

I had the same problem with this BBC video and I got it playing for me.
I had to disable my HOSTS file and explicitly allow cookies for the
bbc.co.uk domain.
Simply going to Tools/Options/Privacy and checking "Accept cookies from
sites" is not enough. I had to click on the Exceptions button, enter
"bbc.co.uk" (no quotes) and click "Allow".
I may have flushed my DNS cache in all that too.
BTW the video is not technical or informative. The IBM guys says he
sprays atoms onto a silicon wafer under a vacuum in a chamber and not
much more.

When I go to the page:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7341031.stm
I can see the image and the "click to play" button - which when
clicked
goes round (and round) indefinitely.
What am I missing? Ther is no help from the page as to what I should
have (plugin..) and don't.
(I have FF2.0.0.13 running on Win XP pro)
