I can’t get any videos to play on YouTube. The Play icon doesn’t show up on the videos. All I get is a black square with the Like, Don’t Like, etc, icons. 
I’ve got an Acer netbook and have never had trouble before. I’m running Win7 Starter edition, if that helps.
Thanks, all!
Do you have a flashblocker installed? What browser are you running? Is it up to date? Have you tried a different browser?
Hey, me too. It started last night. I can play them with IE but not Firefox.
I’m running Google Chrome, not sure which version. If I do have a flash blocker it’s entirely by accident as I didn’t know they existed.
Not working in FireFox, either. Now what did I do?
You could try updating your browser. Is this limited to youtube or do other video sites work?
The browser is the most updated version. I went to the Adobe site and followed their instructions and still nothing. Dammit, I hate when this stuff happens.
It’s only happening to youtube but I’ve discovered that if you add an “s” after the http, it will play.
Install any new firewall/virus-scanner/security-suite type software lately?
Not me.
Me, neither. So far I have done everything the Adobe site told me to do. I’ve restarted my browser and even shut off and restarted my computer. Nothing’s working.
I just tried adding the “s” to the http. That worked but do I have to do it every time? Something is wrong here.
Clear all your browser cache/cookies/temporary internet files. Then restart the browser. That will fix 90% of those kind of problems.
Worked! Thanks, everybody!
Glad to help!
