Since Reformatting - No You Tube

Hope this is the best place to ask. I had to reformatt because of stupid mistake I made. Everything is great except when I follow a Link to YouTube I get a blank page with a small circle with a slash in the upper right.

I must need to tick something. Remember, don't be to hard on me, just had a birthday. Old Men take things kind of serious:)

Which browser and operation system is this? Did you remember to install flash? :)

I have IE as default and also have FireFox. Flash is installed for both versions. I'm running Vista SP2. With IE as default the YOUTUBE opens in that. Haven't tried to copy and paste in Firefox. Even if that would work what a hassle that would be.

Everything worked just fine before th reformat.

Just now tried Firefox with copy and paste. It worked fine there, just IE it doesn't work

So it's just IE. Are you running 32bit or 64bit IE? Have you tried updating IE and/or Flash?

You could check if the add-on (Flash) is enabled in IE:

Also check that you don't have some security software blocking things like videos/Flash:

I don't have IE installed so can't check it's internal options, but you could check popup-blocking and 3rd-party/ActiveX settings there.

I have 32 bit and IE9 was installed. The Flash for both IE and Other was installed to the latest version Check PC Tool Firewall and the applications are unblocked. This has happened in the past and don't remember what I did to correct it. Someone on this Forum I think was the one that gave an answer, may be wrong.

So it seem like I limited to copy and past to Firefox. That's OK, don't get many. Thank you for your time and the post.

Another thing for you to look at Mudd.

In this link check that your Internet Explorer settings are as they recommend, especially for IE9 (just a tiny bit down the page)

Hazelnut you were right again. Also I think Nodles had the information but I didn't follow it correctly. Under Tools Active X Filtering was checked. Unchecked and all is well.

Hazelnut, I hope you are saving for the Big Party three years from now. I made it to 77 last week. Hope you remember you are throwing a party when I turn 80. Got a good report from the Doctor last week. So sweat it out! Personally I think you are safe as don't think I'll make it that much longer. Here's hoping anyway.

Thank you and Nodles for the help.

Good to know it got fixed!

Maybe my instructions were a bit confusing. :D

No that's not right.....! It is my old brain that is confusing. Any normal person would have understood what you sent.:)

I do thank you for the prompt reply. I can always depend on someone in this Forum with a come back at the earliest. Best one that I'm on.

It's going to take 3 years Mudd just to blow up the 80 balloons, so I'm roping in other members :)

Dennis has said he will bake the cake and Andavari will provide the music.

And.... you'll be able to watch the video of it on Youtube now :lol:

That's good. Was concerned I was forgotten! Little early but all of you are wished a Merry Christmas and the best New Year.
