Have you recently uninstalled a browser? if so you need to set another browser as the default...

And if you are using firefox now and wasn't before you'll need to install the firefox version of the flash player.

[dotty.]

The you tube vids posted on mamya nite nbite thread are just not showing, where the vid should be there is a large blank space and the link is in black font not red and it isn't a link that will open. I can't get onto you tube as firefox keeps saying the page has expired, i've got that flash player fine

[dotty.]

oh and the you tube links i posted on my facebook from my other laptop won't open now either and it seems to cancel the image and leave a large wgite space on there now when i go into my facebook from this new laptop

[tamborine]

You may need to sign into Youtube

[dotty.]

firefox won't let me go to you tube : (

[dotty.]

still not working, what is the issue with firefox and IE on this laptop ? Where do I find the proxy setting thing?

[dotty.]

i can go to some sites but not others, firefox times out and it won't open, it must be something quite simple that i need to alter.

It sounds like you have one of two possible problems.

Either some broswer redirect malware. or a DNS problem

Try DNS first... so

Microsoft Windows

DNS settings are specified in the TCP/IP Properties window for the selected network connection.

Example: Changing DNS server settings on Microsoft Windows 7

Go the Control Panel.
Click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, and click Change adapter settings.
Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example:
To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and click Properties.
To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and click Properties.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Select the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down for future reference, and remove them from this window.
Click OK.
Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference.
Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers:
For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.
For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844
Restart the connection you selected in step 3.
Test that your setup is working correctly; see Testing your new settings below.
Repeat the procedure for additional network connections you want to change.

[ChuckFickens]

Ignore the line that says "For IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 and/or 2001:4860:4860::8844 "
