NO VIDEOS?

[GLOOPS]

Hiya fellas'!

I hope you can help me up here!    Why would videos suddenly refuse to perform on my machine guys??    Everything else is working fine but suddenly, any video I click on just refuses to go into action!     Please help me will ya!   ??

All videos or just web streaming content etc or only local videos

If only local videos:

I had an issue a long time ago like this when I was running Windows XP Home on a old Compaq Presario around 2005. Any video I tried to play would just black screen, some would be black screen and not play at all and other ones would have audio only and complain about a codec issue. I ended up rebuilding my system with factory restore CD disc and that fixed it.

If you dont want to perform a reinstallation you can try downloading the VLC Player which is free and if that doesnt work then maybe its a video driver update could be suggested.

If only youtube flash or streaming content then I would make sure you have the latest version of Flash installed. I have run info issues before where I needed to install Flash or Update Flash to correct this.  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

What are your system specs, os, browser used etc?

This is my system info my friend.

I get the black screen and no play at all on my machine mate.   Other things happen as well tho and it is shear murder.  I tried downloading Flash Player and it would not download for me.

Fortuitously, I have a series of system backups, so I can resort to this if I need.  In fact I have just doe this so that I can start getting on with my life! LOL!    However, I am tired  of  keep ending up here so what is going wrong I wonder??

Hiya fellas'!

I hope you can help me up here!    Why would videos suddenly refuse to perform on my machine guys??    Everything else is working fine but suddenly, any video I click on just refuses to go into action!     Please help me will ya!   ??

I've got to tell you, I have absolutely no idea what you are asking. Are you talking about downloaded videos, Youtube, streaming media in general... EXACTLY what is the problem??

[patio]

!st question...did you get your last issue here resolved after usin registry cleaners and is this the same PC ? ?

[GLOOPS]

No Patio I did not mate.    I ended up using the last backup image I had to get me back to where I was.   I have done the same here.  It was the quickest answer for me.   

I have deduced the problem here, but not the cause it is I.E.!    I do not know what is happening, but suddenly video's won't work and then I cannot download from sites' and some graphics do not appear!   For instance all the similes disappear from this reply page!    I need to know what is happening, because it keeps happening so "what am I doing" I wonder?      

Fortunately, having this record of regular visits' up here, I decided on a strategic plan.   Getting tiered of having to completely re-format and start again, as the answer, I have done a system image backup of my drive periodically right from my last format.   I have six of them, so I can go back to various stages of development on my drive.   I'll tell you what!  It beats the *censored* out of keep having to start from scratch every time my friends!

So I am OK now, until the next problem occurs.

This problem definitely was Internet Explorer.    Anyone got any ideas as to how to keep IE in good condition?      

[GLOOPS]

Sorry Yes it is the same PC Patio lad.
