problems with embedded Youtube vids

I see some one else is experiencing the same thing I have been.

I never had problems before but now I just see a blackbox where the Youtube video should be. I'm using Internet Explorer 11.

Re: problems with embedded Youtube vids

I quit using Internet Explorer about a year ago. To slow and quirky. I just tried it again and can see what HB and windy are talking about.

Now I use Chrome which has been quicker for me. The vids show there just fine. So there is a solution/workaround for you.

Re: problems with embedded Youtube vids

The answer lies in the fact that Chrome has a native (built in) flash implementation.

IE uses the standard Flash install that the OS uses, so

It's possible the regular flash install is bad or corrupted. That would affect IE but chrome would work fine, with its own built in flash install.


So, uninstall Flash. Reboot. Google "Get Flash" and download a fresh copy from Adobe. Once installed, the test page should function and I bet the YouTube box here will work again in IE

Re: problems with embedded Youtube vids

yes, I unistalled and reinstalled adobe flash player and it still doesn't work for me, either.
