Gripe with YouTube - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

YouTube suggests that I install Adobe FlashPlayer to look at their videos. I'm having a rough time installing the thing. Too complicated. I wish I could contact YouTube and tell them how I feel.

You're from Pennsylvania? Then I'm here to help. When you try to install flash player, does it tell you why there's a problem?

uninstall the old version

download the new version (stand alone version - not the download manager B.S.) http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/

install

restart your computer

- sometimes it helps to reinstall Java and delete all of your temp files / browser cache as well.

I keep going on youtube and there is no sound on any of the videos I try to watch. I cant talk to anyone because knowone is there. They keep telling me to add firefox and install Adobe flash player. I did both of those things and I still cant hear any videos. Whats going on?

does the sound work everywhere else? (other sites, other programs?)

you don't have to have firefox, but Flash needs to be installed - make sure you have the most current version of whatever browser you are using, uninstall Flash completely, delete all of your temp files and cache, then download the newest Flash version and reinstall it and try the videos again.

I've uninstalled flash and installed flash and the videos still have no sound. I could see them but I cant hear them.

Also, google is giving me a problem as well. When I do a google search the website i want doesnt come up. Ex., If I type in ESPN.com in a google search and click on espn.com that comes up in the google search, espn.com wont come up. Something entirely different comes up.

that would be a strong indication that you are infected with a browser hijacker or some other malware that could be the cause of all your problems

post your information in a new thread here for help removing the malware
