    youtube videos won't play


    Suddenly youtube videos won't play. The viewing window stays black as though it isn't even uploading. I have cleared cache's, reinstalled adobe flash and shock, checked firewall and security settings. Nothing works. I noticed that on 8/14 29 updates were made to Microsoft office - 32 bit (my system has 32 bit and 64 bit) and 12 updates to Microsoft Windows. This is a lot of uninstalling to do. Is this what you would recommend or is there something else to try first?

    I am running IE11 and Windows 7.

    Onwards to your real issue,
    Do you have Java from Oracle installed,
    Gear symbol on the top right and Manage add-ons,
    Show All add-ons on the bottom left column and the toolbars and extensions section,
    Uninstall it if you do,

    Temp files delete,
    Run this as administrator and Start the scanner,
    Shut your machine down after it finishes,
