It could have been a corrupted upgrade/autoinstall of adobe flash applet in your browser.ozchick wrote:Thanks Bigfilsing. Was worth a try. Did that just now. But still no youtube.bigfilsing wrote:Friend of mine recently had the same. They had intenret explorer and chrome and firefox installed.

Gonna take my computer to work now and see IF I can con someone into dealing with my 'non-work' related issue. Wish me luck!
Spot on Kayser. Got the techy dude at work to write it down. I'm not into techy stuff but I could have done this had I thought that this would work.ksl wrote:Try and delete all your history and cookies, cache sounds like it maybe too full for media files. you can test if you open windows media player and try to play a music video to see if it works.
]There is a set amount of memory for the cache, everytime you visit a website, it will save it in memeory, many cookies will be placed in memory too, so that if you visit the site again, it will load from the cache before actually connecting to the site, speeding the initial connection time, however it maynot be updated information until the actual site connects, once the memory is filled, its filled. It aids the speed by not having to compute the data. here's a link you can readozchick wrote:Spot on Kayser. Got the techy dude at work to write it down.

SO: In Internet Explorer- tools-internet options-general tab-browsing history(delete).
I've deleted browsing history before to take the computer to a previous date before problems were visible. It can be a handy fix-all. Didn't think of that on this occasion. Anyway, techy dude fixed it. But can I trouble you Kayser to explain this 'cache' thingy. Do I need to delete stuff?I'm not much of a storer usually..well except for photos, but certainly not music or videos etc.
Would like to get my tiny brain around this so I don't put myself in the red again. And cookies- I always click on the 'cookie' thing bar when it pops up and asks to be allowed in if I can't see what I know is there. There is an option to enable cookies or disable them permanently too yeah, and one's actions can cause grief through unwanted advertisments etc yeah? Am lost on all this stuff. And you've got nothing better to do with your time anyway!![]()
So humour me yeah?!
