Can't watch videos on Youtube

Blake · 12-22-2009, 02:12 AM

Hey so I dont remember how long ago I had this issue, but when I tried to watch videos on Youtube the other day they fail to display, claiming I either have java turned off or an older version of adobe flash player. I've tried updating Java but I still have this issue. What's strange too is that it seems I can view youtube videos if they're linked in different sites but I can't seem to actually watch the videos on youtube itself.

I've had these issues on my old laptop and now I have my new laptop and the same thing is happening.

Does anyone else have this or a similar issue or have any possible solutions for me?

DP: Nevermind it was the flash player that needed to be updated. Firefox prompted me to install it. Now I feel like an idiot. Oh well I guess that's all it takes sometimes.

I had that same problem not too long ago. The same solution fixed it up.

Make sure your monitor is on, too. Monitors work best in the "on" position.
