Youtube/dailymotion video not working properly w/1950xtx?

[GTD]

I just built my system, and I 'believe' I have all the drivers and such
installed that I do on my other machines, however dailymotion will
display a second or two of choppy video before going totally blank. on
Youtube, I get audio and no video. Any ideas? Thanks, Greg

Obviously, you haven't installed all the necessary jave applets, drivers,
etc.

Any idea what those might be? Youtube says it needs flash and quicktime,
I have both installed. Dailymotion also says it needs flash and
quicktime. The video works fine if I click preview, but the main video
loses the vid portion and the audio keeps playing. Nowhere does either
mention java. . .

Hi all,
I installed Windows Vista Ultimate last weekend, and like many I found
that the flash player did not work on many sites including YouTube etc.

Well, the good news is I think I have the fix that many of you have
been looking for:

I navigated my way to:

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash

Then right clicked over both 'Flash9b.ocx' and 'FlashUtil9b.exe', and
chose properties.

In properties choose the 'security' tab > Click on the 'everyone'
account, and the button called 'edit' and then tick the box called
'allow full control' and also choose your own Windows local account name.

Once you have done this for both files run the FlashUtil9b.exe and it
should install and update and tell you to restart. Do so and you should
find that YouTube and other sites that use flash now work.

Let me know how you get on. theopenworld.


Hope that works for you.....

Tim

I'm running XP, , Vista didn't work so well for me, so I wiped the drive
and put XP Pro on. . .

Reinstalling Adobe Flash would be the first thing I do.

And if you are using one of those alternative browsers, try and see if IE6
or IE7 has the same problem. On my system with Opera 9, for example, Youtube
videos pause and rewind after a few seconds of playback for no apparent
reason.

Did the uninstall (by adobe's instructions) and re-install, absoloutely
no change. I'm using IE7. Did same with quicktime, no change. .

F'ing stupid, , there's a firewall setting that was doing it. I thought
I tried it without firewall, , but I guess not. Thanks all.
