Video Playback Problems

[Chimp Paradox]

Has anyone got any advice?

I cannot play youtube, or vimeo and things like that. I have ensured flash, Silverlight, java, are all up to date. I can see the movie loading as the bar progresses the whole way, but it stays on zero.

Embedded facebook videos behave the same way, although sometimes they will play for a bit (usually without sound) and then stop too after a few seconds. Occasionally YouTube and vimeo behave the same way.

All of these issues are sometimes solved by a reboot.

Whats going on?

Tried different browser? Clearing browser cache?

Yes. Same issue in both IE and Chrome

For IE11 see if Active X Filtering or Tracking Protection is blocking them, then if not fixed try Compat-View.

Try updating your graphics drivers to the latest version as a clean install.
