Bummer problem with youtube
in [Mozilla]
|
From: joet on 4 Jan 2010 22:51 My ability to see and download youtube videos used to be fine. All of a sudden, I find I cannot see nor download youtube stuff any longer. Here is the problem in a nutshell. Let's say I do a youtube search for Bing Crosby. I end up on the page containing Bing's videos, but only the first few thumbnails of his music are showing. The rest are an empty frame with no picture. When I click on one of the pics which is showing, I get this message: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " I do have the latest flash player: 10.0.42,34, and I do have my Javascript turned on. I have t these addons: 1-click youtube video downloader 1.1 Adblock Plus 1.1.1 BetterPrivacy CoolPreviews Microsoft .Net Frame2work Assistant 1.1 I had no trouble seeing nor downloading youtube vids with the present setup until a few days ago. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. To confuse the situation even more, when I use MS Internet Explorer, I get the very same results. As I said, until a day or two ago, I had absolutely no problem with youtube. Anyone have any idea what the heck happened?

I tried going backward with Mozilla by installing 3.5.2., but I got the same result. This is driving me buggy. I cannot figure out what in the heck has changed in the last day or two to cause this nonsense.

It might be your isp, or it could be something you have running in the background, such as firewall, virus checkers, spam checkers, malware checkers, or even a virus, trojan, malware, or something else. Try pinging youtube and see what you get. Click on the windows start button, then run and enter cmd then hit the enter key. A DOS window should popup. Enter this: ping youtube.com then hit the enter key. What results come up. You should get about 4 reply lines. If any of them times out, then you've got a problem. -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help!!!!
