I'm running Windows XP. Using IE8, the youtube videos won't play. There is no warning or anything, just the video is black and there is no play button. On Google chrome, there is no problem with playing...

Well Sunkengarden, the videos you are watching on YouTube or any such websites are the Flash Player Applications. That means, the Browser on which you are trying watch the videos, needs Flash Player Application to be installed on your computer. Such traditionally most widely used flash players are Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight.
While you are using Google Chrome, there is no problem just because of Google Chrome already have in-built flash player within it. But the problem remains for IE or other Browsers.
Different Web-Browsers use different types of Adobe Flash Players (IE type or Non-IE type). So, for best results, I recommend you to install both the IE and Non-IE Adobe Flash Players on your computer to have all the browsers play the videos without any problem.
Download the Flash Players by clicking on the following links:
Hope this helps,

Hi there!

Yes, it requires flash player like adobe flash player to be able to play games, watch movies online, listen to movies and others. Just go to the adobe flash player website http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and click install to install it directly or go to www.youtube.com and he will ask that it needs flash player. Adobe flash download icon will appear or link will appear and just click the download link and it will directly installed it to your computer. That all and your problem it solve. Enjoy watching movies or listen songs if you want.

I hope it helps you.

I've always been able to watch videos now when I click on chosen video the screen stays black and there are no play/pause/sound arrows so I can't watch anything.

Check to see that your flash player is up to date. If so, make sure there aren't any software changes on your computer. there are times when an update to a browser could affect a required plugin, or even cases where installing additional software could affect how a browser operates...

I cant wacth youtube.com

jhoeymonteci you didn't say if you have ever been able to watch youtube. I am going to assume that you have Adobe Flash Player installed. What you need to do is to go to the Adobe site and download and run the Flash Player Uninstaller. Then go to youtube and click on a clip. You will be told you need Adobe Flash Player to view the clip. Download it from the options (be sure to uncheck the toolbar option if you don't want it.) After Adobe downloads and installs you should be able to view flash clips again. You MUST use the uninstall to be able to re-install a working player. Hope this helps
