Videos on YouTube are streamed through Adobe Flash player. If you're having trouble playing videos on YouTube, we suggest you install the latest version of the Flash player.

Please follow these steps to upgrade to the most recent version of Adobe's Flash Player:

2. Now that you've uninstalled the older version of Flash, follow Adobe's instructions for reinstalling the most recent version. The download option is on the right-hand side of the page.
3. Once you've downloaded the file, please exit your browser first, and then install the upgraded version of Flash to you're computer.
4. Finally, open your browser again and go to YouTube. You should now be able so successfully watch videos!

If the instructions above don't resolve the issue, please also try the following:

1. Temporarily disable popup blocking software installed on your computer to test.
2. Allow YouTube.com as a trusted site in your Firewall software.
3. Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren't set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.
4. Make sure your computer is set up properly for Flash by checking out Adobe's Advanced Troubleshooter here.

When you download and install Flash Player from the Adobe Flash Player Download Center, the download uses the Adobe Download Manager. Instead of using the Adobe Download Manager, you can download and run the Flash Player installer manually.

1. If you haven't already done so, Uninstall previous versions of Flash Player.
2. Select the manual installer depending on the browser you use. Select one of the following:
   • Flash Player 10 ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
   • Flash Player 10 Plugin (All other Windows browsers, such as Firefox or Google Chrome)

1. A File Download dialog box appears. Select Save. (If you are using Firefox, select Save File).
2. Print these instructions and then close all applications.
3. Open the folder in which you saved the file.
4. Double-click the file name to run the manual installer.
5. Select the license agreement and then select Install.
   
   
6. When the installation completes, select Done.
   
7. Go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about. If the installation was successful, the page displays the Adobe Flash Player version. For more information, see Determine the Flash Player version you installed, if any.

Those particular netbooks are loaded with versions of Windows CE which is very very different from the other versions of Windows, so prgrams that you could just download for like windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, won't necessarily work on a Windows CE machine. Windows CE is a small embedded operating system that can have very specific features. The main issue you're going to encounter is that Windows CE can be "tailor-made" for each company that orders copies of it, so you will have to contact Sylvania and find out the exact features of the Operating System that they ordered from Microsoft. HOWEVER, I have heard rumors of Flash Lite for the Pocet PC working on the Sylvania netbooks, so you can attempt to download that.

Hope this helps, if not, please comment back and let us know!

Hello, there's loads of help, info, and advice of the type you need, on fixya.com. Just do a search for your Sylvania G-Netbook on here and be prepared to read loads as it appears you're not alone out there with Netbook issues.
p.s. the bottom line is that you can't install flash as the Netbook isn't Intel-based. You have to run the mobile version of youtube, which I understand is available as an icon on your desktop. Windows CE itself is a version of Windows 98 specially ported to run on the processor used in your Netbook.
Also check out this link to some video reviews of the product which explain things really well.

Adobe FLASH Player will not work on a Win CE operating system, of which your netbook has. You are limited to using the applications that you have on your desk top as no one has as yet ported Adobe to this system

Click here to download the Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player from Adobe Official Site. It is a small size plugin about 2.26MB in size, which can easily be download and installted in seconds.

Good Luck!
Appreciate generously, if the solution could have been of any help!

Hi Todd,
most likely you notebook is running Windows XP, so that's probably the operating system you should choose. Good luck!

Depend on your OS. If is Windows IE, some issues has found on this.

Try this :
our version of Windows is either a 32-bit operating system or a 64-bit operating system. A 64-bit operating system can run both 32-bit applications and 64-bit applications.Your browser, such as Internet Explorer, is either a 32-bit application or a 64-bit application. Flash Player works only with a browser that is a 32-bit application. On a 32-bit operating system, your browser is always a 32-bit application. However, on a 64-bit operating system, your browser is either a 32-bit application or a 64-bit application. Make sure you are using a 32-bit browser by following these instructions:

Windows with Internet Explorer
To make sure you are using a 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, follow these steps:

1. In Internet Explorer's Help menu, select Help > About Internet Explorer. (In some versions of Internet Explorer, select the question mark in the upper right corner to select About Internet Explorer).
   
   
2. If you do not see the words "64-bit Edition" next to the version number, you are running a 32-bit version of Internet Explorer. Continue to Determine the Flash Player version you installed, if any.
3. If you do see the words "64-bit Edition", go to Flash Player on 64-bit operating systems (TechNote 6b3af6c9) to continue troubleshooting your Flash Player installation.

Windows with other browsers, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, or Opera
No official 64-bit version of these browsers is currently available on 64-bit Windows operating systems. Therefore, unless you are using a test version of a browser (not typical), your browser is a 32-bit application, and therefore, works with Flash Player. Continue to Determine the Flash Player version you installed, if any.


2. Determine the Flash Player version you installed, if any
Before you troubleshoot Flash Player installation, determine the version of Flash Player you have installed, if any. You can see if it is working and whether it is the latest version available for your operating system. Follow these steps:

1. Go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about. If you have already successfully installed Flash Player, the page displays the Adobe Flash Player version as shown in the following image:
   
   Note: The version number in this example might be different than the version you have installed.
   
   If you have not successfully installed Flash Player, you will not see the image.

1. The same page http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about has a table that shows the latest Flash Player version available for your operating system (for example, Windows or Macintosh) and your browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox). If the version information shown in step 1 does not match the latest version shown in the table, upgrade to the latest version. To upgrade, continue to Uninstall previous versions of Flash Player.

Note:Internet Explorer uses a different Flash Player than other browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome. Therefore, if you sometimes use Internet Explorer and sometimes use another browser, you might have installed a different version of Flash Player for Internet Explorer than for other browsers.

3. Uninstall previous versions of Flash Player
Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser, uninstall all previous Flash Player versions and restart your computer. Follow these steps:

1. Uninstall all previous Flash Player versions and restart your computer. For Flash Player uninstall instructions, see Uninstall Flash Player (TechNote tn_14157).
2. Restart your computer after uninstalling.
3. If you are using Internet Explorer, continue to Verify Internet Explorer security and ActiveX settings. Otherwise, continue to Download and install Adobe Flash Player.
   
   

4. Verify Internet Explorer security and ActiveX settings (skip for other browsers)
Make sure that Internet Explorer security default level is set to Medium. This level allows viewing ActiveX controls, such as Flash Player. To set browser security to Medium, perform the following steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Trusted Sites zone.
5. Select the Default Level button. (If the Default Level button is dimmed, continue to the next step).
6. Move the slider until the security level is Medium.
7. Select Apply.
8. Select the Internet zone.
9. Repeat steps 5 - 7. When done, select OK.
