Strangely enough, I tried the above and all worked. 
Must be the bad link in the Today list. Guess I'm just
false alarming; well not actually. When this was
occurring, I was also getting flash errors on the adds
on every email on yahoo web mail and same on youtube
and some ABC news media. Some of the stuff I've tried
has fixed the issue now; just don't know what.
I tried to get back to the link I listed above but
they must have pulled it as it's no longer found. 
Thanks for helping to clear up the issue. I've got
playing all media files working as it should again
since this first post.  Just don't know how long it
will last as it about the 3rd or 4th time getting it
right.  Hardy does have some serious flash issues.
Thanks again for your help.
