Just this weekend, YouTube has been acting up. No problems before.
It's a new laptop, had since early January.
Things I want to play/view just come to a halt after about 15 seconds.
I can't listen to anything on the Cup Lists. It's not a buffering thing....no spinning wheel...just nothing happening.
Google suggests it's ?? an Adobe issue ?? but I don't want to click on or download any malware if I search for Adobe on line
I'm going to run a full security scan, just in case, although I ran one early Friday
YouTube won't Play ?

Re: YouTube won't play ball
YouTube vids are Flash files, are they not? You may want to update your flash player. Do it from the Adobe site and you won't have any risks from malware and the like.

I have the site and am looking at the Flash section but I don't understand a word of what's written there or the tech language.
It says I have 11.3.378.5
I have Windows 8 - 64 bit and my browser is IE.
There is an 11.3.379.14 , which I presume is the most recent.

If you click the download button you should get a set of instructions on how to install/upgrade it.

Re: YouTube won't play ball
Thank you very much however I can't fix this. I don't have the right computer technology mind set.
The Adobe update instructions are incomprehensible to me. I've got 8 windows open and am going round in circles.

Re: YouTube won't Play ?
What browser do you use? I ask because I had a similar problem with flash on my desktop earlier this month -- I use Chrome and the issue was that somehow Chrome had two versions of Flash. Removing both and downloading Flash again fixed the issue for me.

Re: YouTube won't Play ?
Everythings completely messed up. No Youtube or I Player
I don't understand what to do with the new Windows 8 OS. I've tried all I can do.
I'm think I'm going to have to get it professionaly fixed.

Well, I know what I'm about to say is of no real help, but...
Running Windows 8 64-Bit, I've yet to have a Flash issue with IE or Firefox. Chrome (from what I understand) has it's own Flash included in it's exe.

Thank you.
I've been working on it virtually all day and I've gone funny in the head,

Re: YouTube won't Play ?
I had this issue (or one very similar) on a Mac. It was to do with clicking a new version of youtube player (or something like that) I can't remember now but instructions are somewhere on 'tinternet. Just keep putting in phrases you think describe it and eventually something will turn up. It tells you how to go back to the old version.
At least - that worked for me.

Re: YouTube won't Play ?
Thanks, Prof.
I couldn't get past Step 4 of Adobe reinstallation process as I couldn't obey instruction to close my IE browser with this new fangled (to me) Windows 8 OS.
Anyhoo, as Sloop says, I've had it fixed. Apparently Adobe Flash Player was clashing, so not working, with something called ActiveEx.?
All fine now but I'm quite a few ££s lighter in the pocket.
