Hello, helpful board members. Hope this's the correct place to ask... I've gotten assistance here before [last few yrs] under a diff. username, but am computing again after 6> months, wireless this time, and just d/l-ed SWB S&D. I have a Compaq desktop, 380-some memory, Wdos XP OS, using the Firefox browser. Sales slip says: "PC 1000, 380K+, 20gig, XP Pro". I've performed most Wdos updates and have scanned w/ AdAware, S&D and AVG Free version w/good results.
The machine performs well and reasonably fast, but will not play some vid formats. Quicktime and Wdos Media player work OK, but when I go to youtube, news sites, etc, I'm informed that "either Javascript is disabled or my flashplayer needs updated" to #9 or above. Javascripting IS enabled [tools>options>,>...] and I've updated to both Adobe Flash #s 8 and 9, more than once {pop-up boxes indicated both updates [to Adobe 8 & 9] were successful]. I also updated to the latest Java.
Any suggestions/help?? Would appreciate it... After all, what good's a computer w/o youtube acccess??
Thanking all in advance, pfa...
