Internet Videos won't play... :(?
Don't know what I did wrong - 2o minutes ago I was deleting some old games and then my computer restarted itself and then all of a sudden I can't watch online videos anymore - YouTube or Yahoo videos...
It says something about Java and Flash player.

How can I fix it?
Please, help!
Thank you all people so VERY CERY MUCH - unfortunately, every time I try to download Flash I see a message - Internet has encountered a problem and needs to close.

You should upgrade to Newest version of java and adobe flash player on your PC. This is why you face this problem. First, get into your internet options and default all settings. Youtube.com requires Flash player only. Whereas, Yahoo! Videos require both java update and flash player. OK get to these site: For Java Update get on to:www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
For Flash player: www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer

Yes Java can be the answer but make sure that it is the most current version of it because I have seen times where Java had been installed the day they got their compute which had been in 2002 and it was really out dated. Good Luck!

You probably deleted Flash player, just reinstall it, Youtube, Google videos, and many other sites use flv format and a Flash player.

Click download now, run the program, which will install it again, and then restart Internet explorer.(Or whatever browser you use)
Good luck, friend.
