Videos won't work on my laptop!!!!!!!!?

I Have a dell studio laptop with Windows 7 install on it.
Few weeks ago sudently I couldn't watch any videos on any browsers installed on my laptop (Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).
When I open a page that contains a video the page don't respond anymore.
I checked that I had the lastest version of adobe flashplayer and adobe shockwave player, to be certain I redownloaded them.
The videos still couln't work.
So I started to search for some answers on the internet but I couldn't find any.
So I lunch a system restore and all went back to normal.
Few weeks later the same problem appends so I did a system restore again.
At this point I tought it was a problem with the windows update but when after the system restore I reinstall the updates the problem didn't show off.
Finally today I was watching a video on my laptop (not on the internet) and the player crashed.
I went on youtube to see if I could watch videos and gest what I can't.
I can't even see the ads that shows up in the yahoo homepage.
I ready the make an other system restore but I want to get rid of this problem once and for all!!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

Hi tim, the first thing I would do is confirm that you have the correct Flash Player files installed.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. Post back all files listed. On the ones NPSWF32.dll and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe, right click on those two and check properties to get the version number.
Then you can check All add ons in IE and look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control....Flash10e.ocx( vs 10.0.45.2)
should be listed and Enabled.
In FF or other browsers look for SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled. Also be sure there is only one
listing of the SWF.
Thanks,

Mbp 13"facebook video won't work

mbp 13"facebook video won't work. The window comes up but it won't let me allow it, it does nothing. Do I need a add in flash player or something?

well, thanks for suggestions ... but problem persists.
When starting ff in safe mode, some times i have video and sometimes i don't.
It is just like starting ff in ordinary mode - sometimes there is a problem with video and sometimes not.
However, the video problem occurs more times than when it goes ok.
I unticked the hardware acceleration box but it made no difference.
Also I have played around with all the add -ons and (only 4) extensions ,disabling and enabling them, to no effect.
The odd thing is that this video problem is not always consistent
- sometimes it occurs and sometimes it doesn't..
I have webroot anti-virus and it tells me that my laptop is clean.
There is no Video problem in chrome and IE.
.....A few times in the past, this problem occurred but things came right by themselves.
I have been a fan of ff for many years.

If you want a success then download movie trailers from Apple's QuickTime site and convert them using QuickTime for the iPod.
The new King Kong trailer is available in iPod format and looks stunning.
I put together a guide for converting movies to the iPod:

Embedded video won't work on windows machine....

A friend has asked me to post video on a webpage so I initially put the m4v video on a "movie" page in iweb, published the video. While it plays fine on my mac, it won't work when accessed via a pc. So my next thought was to publish the video to Blip Tv and then embed the code for the flash converted video into iweb. I did this using the insert html snippet function in iWeb. Again, it works fine from my mac but won't load when using a pc. Here's an example:
http://web.me.com/dgmeyer/LAX/TEST_MOVIE.html
Any idea why this isn't working??? THanks.

I did the flash video version using Blip TV which I guess is similar to you tube. Once completed, the site offers the code needed to embed the video into a website-- which is what I did and initially, the video wouldn't play in the Internet Explorer environment. Once I downloaded the latest flash player, it worked however it would be nice if there was a way to include the code for the appropriate flash player with the video -- is that possible? Can you self host flash video on a .mac/me account? Thanks for your help.

Flash videos won't work on Linux Mint 16

Hi! I have an issue. I'm using Mint 16 and Firefox 28. Mathworks' instructions videos won't play saying "Unable to connect to server. Please try using a different browser or try again later. Click here to learn more. Error Code: VE_FMS_CONNECT_FAILED".

Try disable the hardware acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did you try start Firefox in Safe Mode?

Just want to thank you for this brilliant solution. It worked!! I also want you to know that I actually went into the apple store today, and none of the clerks had any idea how to fix this. That excludes the ''genius bar'' which had a five hour wait for appointments! Thank you so much again, merrymusic

ZEN xFi2 video won't work

I am puzzled: I loaded a movie file into my ZEN xfi2 with Creative Centrale. After 20 hours or so of Centrale chewing on the video to process it, it won't play in the ZEN. It shows up in my xfi2 as 'player does not support this format' But?it (a .wmf file) plays perfectly well from the Centrale player, and it plays fine from Windows Media Player after I copied it back to my dri've. It appears to be exactly like my other movies on the player and on my computer.
So, what went wrong? I hate having my gear locked up for 20 hours and then not have the movie play back for no clear reason. Anybody?

The original file was an .mpg MPEG4 file deri'ved from a digitization using the Pinnacle 'Dazzle!' digitizer and AVS Video Editor. I sampled VHS output and stored it as the default file in mpeg4 format from the AVS software. The resulting mpg file played in all software I have, so it appeared to be standard and functional. Having previously had trouble with Centrale and mpeg4 files, I then translated the mpg file to a Windows Media Player .wmv file with?AVS Video Converter software. This resulting file also plays normally in all players on my system. From the Windows filesystem tooltip on the .wmv file it shows a bitrate of 942kbps, a screen size of 920x080 and a size of about 50 megs. I used Creative Centrale to put the file on the ZEN xfi-2 by dragging and dropping this .wmv file. Centrale proceeded to process for a day and a half, and stored the file on my xfi-2. The movie, when?selected in the xfi-2 player won't work, and says the format is not recognized. I have 2 other movies on the player that I have no problems with that I processed similarly at an earlier time. That's about all. But maybe something went haywire at the end, because when I came back to look at Centrale after it finished, it showed an error that 'the semaphore' had timed out. I tested the .wmv from the ZEN by copying back to my computer's desktop. That file plays without problem, so I assume everything went ok.

Video won't work on my iPad mini?

I'm trying to watch a video but it won't work. You know how there's a triangle thing over videos you press to start them? There is a line across it. I rebooted my iPad but it still won't work. My iPad is an iPad mini 16gb

Hi Friend,
Which kind of account are you using?
If you are using a business account (for example [email protected]) you must set POP account info properly, filling all the blank fields (name, email address, description, password, Host Name, user's name, SMTP). Just one field blanked causes error in sending/receiving.
If you are using a default account (iCloud, Yahoo!, Hotmail...), fill all the blank fields (Name, Email account, Password, Description) and sign in.
If not works, delete the account and sign in again
Hope it will be helpful

How come my video won't work?...after I downloaded Os x mountain lion?

I Downloaded the Os x Mountain lion and now my video does not work when I make a video call on Skype. Please help.

This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
I assume you are using Windows.
If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

I have recently updated my Apple TV (gen 2) and now Airplay video won't work. I can hear the audio, but no video. I have unplugged, replugged, restarted. Help! This problem is all post-upgrade.

First time using this site; not sure if I'm doing it right.
My apple tv which has always worked beautifully is not picking up airplay from my ipad. It is picking up the audio, and it will certainly do that "mirroring" thing where you watch a grainy computer screen on your tv, but it won't work the way it used to. Any help? I have plugged and unplugged, reset and restarted everthing to no avail. Icons are available, I see the apple tv option on all devices but it just won't do it's thing. Help!
Thanks, everyone, in advance.
Sitz.

Hi, sitzmark128.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of your your wireless network can resolve some AirPlay issues. I would also recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
If the issue persists after processing these steps, see the article below.

I just updated to mountain lion and now pandora won't work, videos won't work, i can't access my iTunes.... the list goes on. HELP!

I recently updated to mountain lion and many of my most used programs won't work....
pandora
itunes
hulu
any vidoes.... says pop up blocked
somehow I can't change any of my security preferences
SUPER FRUSTRATING

So what happens if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General? Are you able to go there at all? If you are able to go there, can you unlock the preferences using the lock in the lower left and your login name and password?
If you are able to do this, can you change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere?
Best of luck.

Videos won't work on my ipod... Tried different converters and restoring it

I've restored my ipod to factory settings a hundred times and i've tried different video converters like xillisoft and videora and they all work but when I play the video it will work for a minute or so then it will stop for a few seconds. Usually when the video resumes there is no sound. If i fast forward then rewind back to same spot it usally fixes the problem but it will just happen again every 45 seconds or so. What the heck is wrong with my ipod.
Made my own Windows XP Pro

Don't worry. You will figure it out. It took me MONTHS to finally figure out how to do it. Here's a link for a dvd ripper.http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/DVD_Decrypter/1011845169/1
Now here's a link that guide you through the ripping process.

Now for converting that ripped dvd(or jsut a video file).
You will first need videora. http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
With videora, there are a few setting you have to change that may effect the conversion process. Here's a guide on converting a ripped dvd/video file to ipod compatible.
