At wits end with google chrome and facebook videos

I'm getting the error, the name ........... chrome.exe --disable-audio-output-resampler specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct. Any clue? Cant apply changes.

Try creating another shortcut and add the flag just after the chrome.exe"

Alright, added the tag behind, but, only after the apostrophe and then no errors surfaced. tried the fb videos again, still the same thing, bleh, black screen.

Ah nope, both black screens with no flash player coming up.

Okay, thanks for going thru those steps.

You might want to try the "Fixit" on this page:
Playing video files crashes or freezes Internet Explorer - Windows
I know that the problems listed are not what you are seeing but one of the things that this particular Fixit tool does is to check for corrupted codecs.

Test all of your browsers using the links below after running that Fixit.

What antivirus and firewall tool are you using?

In Chrome, please open a page in the incognito mode and try those public videos again.

Ahhh, still no luck Whatever google chrome is showing me is what IE is showing me too. Only firefox seems to work for my fb videos..


Edit: Now even firefox has given up on me. Stupid flash.

Ok great. Even restoring my notebook back to factory conditions, the damn video(s) still doesnt work. I assume its a problem with flash no?

By the way, could it be one of the programs lenovo pre installed conflicting with it? I've installed the same version of flash player as my desktop. Desktop's all browsers work. Laptop's IE and Chrome doesnt..
