There is a lot of good programs out there...a lot of them are free. You have Windows Media Player built in to your windows 7. Try that as your default. A lot of the stuff I learned, I just Googled. It takes a little trial and error but you can get it the way you want.
It could be that the site changes the Codec (format) automatically. Also in your default programs...what ever your default video program is might recognize as it as avi. You can change that easily. Also downloading slowly is just normal, depending if you have other applications running in the background. There is a lot of start up programs that you don't need.
let us not forget about Marilyn Monroe and Catherine Deneuve...they set the standards and paved the path for what sexy is for all of the modern actresses.
My wife and I went to the Bahamas for our honeymoon...right in the middle of a nasty storm...no a/c, no power. We opened a bottle of rum...and played strip/sex monopoly. Made up our own rules as we went along. Never did finish the game.
. Uninstall the flash player and then reinstall....see if that works. If you are running an older operating system...try using an older version of flash....from Adobe site. Some older OS can't handle modified newer versions
