Watching Vids Problem

Guys i am not very good at computers ect which i guess is all electronics.
Can anyone help or please explain - I have updated my Adobe reader 9 BUT when some vids are put on here all i get is a BLACK BOX which i can't do anything with and others have the start part which i just click..
I have tried clicking on the black box but NOTHING

Check the angle of the Gangle pin where it connects to the Spod rod.
Failing that it may be the Flux capacitor.

THe Adobe reader has nothing to do with Videos, Adobe FLASH does though, you might need to update that as well, also once you update it, turn the browser off and then back on and see if that helps

I use Windows Media Player whenever possible.

Adobe Flash seems to work if you keep it updated, like anything else on a computer.

Try updating flash using the link, see if that does the trick

I all so use Windows Media Player for the most part.

How does Windows Media Player play videos embedded in threads on the forum, that is a program for offline viewing, Flash plays YouTube and PhotoBucket Videos.

Thankfully, I don't know that much about any of them other than that they need occasional updating. Windows Media Player is used for anything and everything that is in my computer, hard drives, flash drives and cameras. I do a fair amount of viewing of my own footage and family items. Thank you for the lesson on Adobe Flash and I stand corrected. I never think of it as flash from Adobe as it is all so seemless just like Windows Media Player.

I hope I did not come across as smart aleky, just wanted to clear up some confusion. Offline I use several Media Players, amongst them is WMP plus DIVX player and a program called Media Player Classic which often does a better job than WMP
HE was halfway there going to Adobe to update, but Adobe Reader is a program to read PDF files

No problem at all. I can always stand to learn more!

Thank you,
