O.K.....All of the sudden I can not watch videos from you tube. Does not matter if they are on GT, facebook, or you tube site itself. What did I do and what can I do to fix it. I have a HP with windows 7 and using IE. Please explain in old dumb man talk. Many thanks in advance.

First and foremost, stop using IE. That software is replete with issues and exploits. My first recommendation is to switch browsers to either Firefox or Chrome. If you're emotionally attached to IE, then even Microsoft recommends updating it to the very latest version possible. Start with that. Good luck.

Not much info to go on here, but I like a good challenge.

What does it do when it does not work ? Is the screen blank, or is it slow and choppy? Do you get an error message? Does it shut down your page ?

Did you change anything on your system between the time when it worked and when it didn't? I am a fan of Chrome, it is fast and stable compared to most, but your setup should work just fine for flash videos. I don't use IE anymore, but somewhere in the settings is the flash plugin, maybe it needs updating. You could also go to your control panel and update the standalone flash manually, maybe try deleting all the data saved in flash, its on the page that open when you click the flash icon in the panel.

Is all of your software up to date.
