    Laptop Problem - Can't view videos

    Anyone know what happened here? Laptop over heated and shut off...I let it cool down, rebooted and now I can't view youtube videos or any videos at yahoo news...when I go to youtube and right click it just says movie not loaded ???

    FYI this laptop overheats all the time so this is nothing new...It always works fine when I reboot.

    ok update...well this pc has firefox and chrome...i usually use chrome...I tried viewing videos with firefox and that didn't work either....
    I did notice that FF needed to be updated so I did that and now I can watch vids with FF....

    However, I prefer chrome and I have the most recent version as well....Still though I am unable to watch videos with chrome ? :clueless:

    Well something is f'd up here....a glich or something...everything is updated...

    Anyways I went to the youtube problem forum and searched my problem there....AND I FOUND A SOLUTION....AND THIS IS REALLY F'D UP.....

    If I go to normal youtube I cant watch videos I just get a black box.....but I found this strange youtube link to a dog humping a pillow....I go there and can now watch youtube vids....

    Tell me this isn't screwed up?

    fixed !

    they added "s" to the server, guessing some security measures by youtube...



    use https:// instead and it works fine ..

    I know flash can cause overheating. Don't know if there there is any connection to your problem...
