Paul.... no, I have tried everything that's been suggested. I am at my wit's end!!!

Are you encountering the problem when trying to view a video in a browser? If yes, what browser are you using, is it Internet Explorer or Firefox?

I used to use Internet Explorer until about a week ago and then, on the advice of and with the help of a friend, downloaded Firefox. Had no problems before but it has since removed all my plug-ins. I have taken everyone's advice, Paul, and tried to download what has been suggested but to no avail....!!!
frustrated

crying ........ and yes, after a week of problems I am virtually reduced to tears!!!

it seems that you are missing Firefox's plugins.

go to the following link:

select the once required. for example, to view videos on youtube, install flash etc etc

there's no need to install each ans every plugin listed in the page, just the ones you need.

hope that this helps

type in the Video player kind in download.com and just relaod the whole thing, click yes for overwrite existing files is the easiest I can think for you, or take the other guys advice and get real Player, easiest options,

or go to start menu click, click asseories, click system tools, click system restore and click on date before fire fox was installed,

at a different time I can help you sweep your comp professionally,


Bye for now

ok i think i know what your problem is. i used to use firefox although i don't now. i booted it up and tried you tube and it said i needed to install adobe flash player to firefox brower (even though i have it already on IE). i got a bar at the top with an option to install now. i installed and hey presto it worked fine. if you don't have it already you can download it here:



hope that works for you.

Thank you, my friend........ though are you saying IE is better than Firefox coz I am getting conflicting opinions on this......... though it seems Firefox appears to win, the most part.

Thanks again cheers

lol no, i'm not saying one is better then the other. i just prefer to use ie. it's all a matter of what you're comfortable with. just ensure you're well enough protected.

do you have other add ons such as "no script", those can prevent videos from playing without you allowing them.
