Hello all,
I'm hoping someone can help me with my video problem. I'm not sure if a service that was disabled, or if it's a browser option issue. I can't get any embeded videos to play from within a webpage such as myspace, or like.... Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you...

Many sites, YouTube especially, require JavaScript turned on. Also, you must have the latest Flash player which is browser specific.

How do I enable JavaScript in my browser? (Covers all browsers):

The Flash player is browser specific so be sure you install the correct one.

Thank you so much for your help Major Payne...
I guess it wasn't the embeded videos I was having the problem with as the videos on Youtube played fine. The problem was with my Adobe Flash Player. Somehow, probably by one of my nephews, the player was un-installed and all I had to do was re-install it...

Thanks again for the quick reply and the help...
Have a great day, Fullcyc....
