647410 2008-03-08 11:32:00 hi guys.
i've got a problem and it's very frustrating.
i'm in desperate need of help.
i'm trying to access YouTube videos but i can't seem to view the videos at all.
the video box doesn't seem to load up at all. like this one for example:

www.youtube.com

i dont think it is a flash problem because i updated that just now.
i'm really annoyed because my friend passed on a really cool clip i wanted to watch but now i cant.

pleaseee help!

thanks in advance

647412 2008-03-08 11:39:00 First of all, what browser are you using and do you have any add-on's or extensions active? beeswax34 (63)

647414 2008-03-08 11:53:00 Does any online video play? Try viewing videos at break.com (http://break.com/) to test this. sal (67)
647415 2008-03-08 11:54:00 those videos dont seem to work either :S LetterB01 (13481)
647416 2008-03-08 11:58:00 Go here (www.adobe.com) with your firefox browser and download the "install_flash_player.exe" it tells you to.

Then close all Firefox windows and run the installer

Also - To comment at You Tube you have to be logged in

647417 2008-03-08 12:15:00 Hmm - that still doesn't seem to work - (I'm testing it at the same time lol)

Meantime, for a workaround you can do this :

change the "watch?v=" bit to just "v/"

So your link would change from :

youtube.com/watch?v=3KSsPWwJZb8

to

youtube.com/v/3KSsPWwJZb8

647418 2008-03-08 13:30:00 Are you sure you dont have any plugins active?

The "stylish" CSS manager I had active is what was interfering with me...

Switched it off folowed your link again and this time got a prompt to install Shockwave Flash plugin.

All you tube movies playing now...
