Ok, First open "Adept-manager" and check to see if the following are installed:

Type "sun-java" (without the " of course) you should have "sun-java5-bin,sun-java5-plugin" installed I also installed "sun-java6-bin,sun-java6-plugin"..

Now Type "flash" you should have "flashplugin-nonfree" installed..

If you have "no" sound when viewing videos online such as ones on "Youtube" then

Type "oss" and install "alsa-oss" package...

After this make sure that what ever "Web-browser" your using has access to use plugins and if you can click the tab to check for newer installed plugins and thier paths...

Hope this was helpful...

Can you help with this problem?
