Although I can hear the teacher speaking, there is no picture.....These are the videos that introduce the lessons. thanks for any help you can offer me, Mernie

Have you watched videos in the past and seen the pictures? If so, have you changed browsers, lately?
Some browsers disable Java(script) by default. Java(script) must be enabled in your browser to watch the videos. Do you have a version of Adobe flash player installed on your computer? Try downloading the video and see if you can watch it offline and see the video portion without problems. If not, the problem is with your system.
The videos can be downloaded (for free) at sites like iTunes or BlipTV.com. They are available in several image formats .flv, .swf. mpeg4, etc. If you download from BlipTV I have found the easiest method if to download them directly into RealPlayer.
Since there may be copyright issues, I won't mention editing the videos with videoediting software and removing the ads if they really bother you. (hardly worth the effort).
If this is just a one time problem that you are having, the lesson may be experiencing problems loading the video portion of the lesson. Just try it again at a later time. Try another lesson and see if you can see the images in that lesson.
Thank you SO MUCH for the answer you provided. I was able to follow your advice and get the videos back on!!!!!!!!!!
