only getting half the story
 

for some reason i can't see embedded youtube videos.
the white box of no info is getting annoying
what button do i press yo

ps problems seems to be on most forums i visit.

Do you have flash player installed?
What web browser do you use?
What operating system do you use?
Does Youtube.com work?
Have you googled the problem?

problem solved flash player issue.
I hadn't noticed because i've been only really using my computer for the internet lately but a lot of other programs weren't functioning correctly.
doubt it was a virus as i scanned and no issues.

rather than waste time looking for the problem. i have upto date backup cds and store all my media on portable hardrives so popped in latest backup cd and back to normal in 20 min.
