Additional information: The mp3 streams and plays on another computer. Flash Player was updated. On this computer, the buffering supposedly starts, but no time is added to the length of the song. The time stays at 0.

I don’t have an answer, but I don’t understand what the relationship is between **[toth.moses@yahoo.com](mailto:toth.moses@yahoo.com)** and **Cardinal**. Are they the same person? Roommates?

Friends. I’m the “tech expert”, but since Firefox works otherwise, and Flash was updated, I don’t know what else to try to fix, other than completely uninstalling FF and reinstalling.
