Flash videos? Do you have flash installed?

Try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras using Add/Remove Programs. (Or by typing "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" into command line terminal, if you are comfortable with that.)

If your problem is more complex than that, give more details...

Hi I tried that; however it seems to be stuck a a blue screen titled
Package configuration with a lite blue license for Java 1.1. It just
says open the first time after 20 minutes I rebooted, to no avail.
Next?
