    Embedded videos are simply showing up as blank squares with a tiny picture in the top left corner. My primary concern is youtube videos (which I embed in my blog & have been able to see fine until now), but I think other embedded videos aren't show up either. I updated Java & Adobe reader, still nothing. Any suggestions? cheers

    EDIT: I am using internet explorer but when I use Chrome I can see the videos. I would use Chrome but I much prefer IE due to simple differences on my pc. cheers again

    It works for me in IE at least. I'd suggest updating your Flash plugins if nothing else.

    No, it's a raw and unaltered install of IE9 since I would never otherwise start it.

    I just updated my flash player and java etc again. I updated my internet explorer and updated some things on the computer than needed to be updated. Still no luck, any reason why or suggestions as to how to improve it?

    I don't suppose you'd be too happy to get a packet capture through Wireshark, would you?

    Otherwise, have you updated your anti-virus very recently?

    I have this same issue, av is nod32, it updates automatically. Had put it down to a browser issue, and forgot about it. With my internet speeds youtube is just a tease. Takes 30 mins to download a 3 min clip, so I dont bother. :)

    I don't know what the first one means and secondly no I have not. I have updated 22 things in total.
