Babs -
There has been some kinda dispute between the music industry and You Tube in this country. You can watch some things - but NOT official music videos made by bands.

Maybe that's the problem?

Babs, are you getting an error message when you try to view a movie, and if so, what message? And are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox?

As far as I know, it is Flash Player that you need to view movies on YouTube. I used to sometimes get a problem on my old computer if it was low on memory and couldn't load Flash Player.

Thanks lasses no it was when I was trying to view Brians restore photo threads , I used to be able to see them ok when he started to put them onsite but then this last couple days havnt been able to ;;
the message Im getting at the top of u-tube page is download adobe flashplayer which I have done about 4 times now or you may have Java switched of, which I havnt altered anything so re downloaded Java but if I put in the run part java or flash player it says cannot be found;;;

[borobabs]

This is the message I get at top of the page ;;

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.


Also I use IE and vista have done for over yr now when I got it new , and not out of memory or anything

[KiteRunner]

Can you go into Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - Settings and scroll down to the Java section and make sure the box for it is ticked, Babs?

[borobabs]

[KiteRunner]

Babs, you have to download an uninstaller - I'll just see if I can find it...
