Cannot view youtube anymore
« on: Wednesday 04 November 15 15:17 GMT (UK) »
For the last couple of weeks I have been unable to view anything on you tube or video clips on facebook. I just keep getting this error message coming up. I have Windows 8 but I have not installed anything new lately, can anyone advise please?

Yes I was wondering that too :)

I'm guessing that it's an out of date flashplayer.

The quick answer is probably to install Google Chrome:

OK...depending on what browser you are using there are bugs...

If you are using Internet Explorer, for example, do you have another browser? Chrome, Firefox? Maybe try using them to see if you can view facebook clips??
