It worked OK for me.  Kind of strange, the video started up, went blank,
then a few seconds later, it started up again and played OK. Running

I got a little "Adobe Flash Player Settings" screen wanting to store

Just tried safe mode. Clicking got me the spinner, which is a step in 
the right direction (normally I get nothing at all), but after a few 
minutes it reverted to the regular cursor.


Mousing over the video does change the cursor to a hand, as if it were a 
link, but clicking the link has no effect.

A new symptom--after a long delay,the sound of the video started, but 
not the video. Never have any luck with ABC videos, so generally just 
don't even try.

ABCnews has never worked correctly for me on SM so I never go there any more.
Just tried the url above on IE 9 and it locked up the laptop for about 45 
seconds
and downloaded a bunch of stuff to TEMP that immediately disappeared.
Tried it on FF27 and nothing would load.
