    Can't view videos from Facebook, Kim Komando, other websites


    When I click on a video in Facebook, I'll get the webpage surrounding the viewing screen, but I don't get a black screen to see the video on.

    YouTube videos work just fine.

    I'm using MSIE 11.0 and Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 on an HP desktop PC.

    Googled this problem and tried a couple of suggestions, one dealing with an accelerator setting in MSIE and another with a Facebook account setting and neither worked. Problem stayed the same.

    Would so like to see videos again. Please help.

    Thanks,

    Try the beta version of flash.

    Which other browsers do you have installed ?
    Is Chrome one of them ?
    If so Gear symbol on the top right and Manage add-ons,
    Make sure your set to Show all add-ons/ bottom left,
    See if you have a BHO chrome add-on/ disable it so,
    Also see if Right clicking the Black video screen and click on Settings/ Drag the slider to the right.
    Make sure EPM is not activated,

    Sorry for my delayed response. I have a few days off now, so I have more time to look into this.

    I installed the beta version of flash, but I see no difference.

    To my knowledge, I do not have MSIE Chrome installed on my desktop. Whenever I install any software, I am very careful to uncheck the boxes in small print that install stuff I don't want, like Chrome.

    Thanks for your help. Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, et al.
