Youtube doesn't work for no reason


Recommended Posts

I am working on fixing some stuff for a friend of mine. One is that Youtube doesn't work. Javascript is enabled and Adobe Flash Player is installed and up to date. I tried three different browsers. Turned off the firewall. Added youtube to the trusted sites. uninstalled and reinstalled several times, no luck

The computer is running Windows XP. the browsers I tried were IE8, Firefox, and Chrome. Has anybody had this problem or know what the problem is. Other video sites work just fine. It seems to be isolated as a problem with youtube.com.

Love the subject line - There clearly is a reason - just that we don't know what it is yet ;)

Have you walked through their troubleshooter for that error?

I know this threat was posted a long time ago but I have the EXACT same problem. Youtube isnt working, I reinstalled Adobe flashplayer and and tried adding the trusted sites and everything that you did. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it too. I also tried playing youtube on internet explorer but it isn't working. Video works on other sites but not youtube (which is the most important >< ).

Ontop of this I have an additional annoyance plaguing my computer. I downloaded babylon while trying to download something else. I tried deleting the add ons, and uninstalling the program and everything but it keeps coming back. I can't find it on the C: program files...etc-in other words, I read that I had to go into my program files and find the installed babylon folder but I can't find it. Furthermore-everytime I open a tab on my firefox browser, it keeps opening as babylon. It's driving me insane.

I'll be forever greatful for the awesome person who can get me out of these dillemmas as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Ash

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
