Viewing videos

Viewing U Tube and entries on facebook - I click on link to display a video but cannot go further than the black square displayed ie Video will not play. Used to work - have I "unset" a setting?? What do I need to download to get vids playing again?

    a flashplayer and enable JavaScript for that page. Sometime flash is already installed, but the page does not work to JavaScript being blocked.
  • Cheers Bluesnake - have downloaded "Adobe Flashplayer 11" but still same problem - all goes through to black screen but will not play.
    "JavaScript being blocked"? Me Dummy - can you explain?

    What are you trying to play it on?

    If it's an Android Tablet, they don't support Flash Player and, although there are supposed to be work-rounds to this, I've never managed to get flash-videos to play on my Nexus 10.

    so did expresso link say java is working for you?

    You have used the correct version of flash for your browser?

    Try this helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html

    Are you able to play the game?

    You will also need access to 2 web sites for the videos, so check you have nothing blocking the sites, like host, firewall etc.
