YouTube is not there
« on: November 23, 2010, 09:06:01 AM »
All I get, if I'm lucky, is a big blank black space where the video part is supposed to be.  The border & other parts are there, but no video-part.

If I'm unlucky I just get a blank space.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zip.

And yet there are times when I go to a video linked at some site and there it is, in all it;s splendor.

Being a non-geek, I need to know 1) what's busted/broke/not working, and 2) what can I try short of opening up the back of the box of wires and pulling something out to put a new something in?

THanks.

stay safe.

Another possibility: Sometimes ad-blocking extensions/plugins block the wrong things on Youtube, resulting in disabled videos.

Along the same lines I've been having a problem with YouTube also.

I cannot watch it in full screen mode, the screen goes black with a vertical green line on the left side. The sound continues playing normal and I can toggle back to the regular view using the Esc button. I can watch videos in full screen mode using WMP with no issues.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Don't know what it was.

Turned the machine off, opened it in safe mode & ran all the anti-this&that.  It works again.
