Alright this is getting annoying. About a week ago tube videos, across the web have become tiny icons in the top left corner of the video frame, the sign that they are not loading. It isn’t just the You Tubes, Vimeo is gone and it isn’t just here in the forums. Usually I just wait these things out, but something is not right. Where are the tubes I can’t even watch anyway? Anyone have a clue?

Do you happen to have AdBlock, NoScript or FlashBlock installed in FireFox? Is your version of Adobe Flash up to date?

No I don’t have any of that ad blocking software on the computer and Adobe should be updated. I’m on IE not Firefox. Yea I know, I know. I have a vague recollection that it auto updated about two weeks ago. Hmm was that about the same time the videos disappeared. I’ll check the Adobe.

Maybe your settings on Windows Defender don’t like video streaming? Are you using any other kind of firewall?

The videos I can’t watch are at back now. I updated the Adobe even though the one on the computer was the one listed as the newest at Adobe’s site. I reset the windows internet security to default since lord knows what may have crawled through there changing things. One of those things worked.

So now at least I can have a better idea of what you people are referencing in fancy media presentations that I can’t watch on satellite internet with any satisfaction.
