why wont certain internet things work for me?

[Kayla]

At first I noticed hulu videos won't load but now its other things. Youtube works but blackboard for school work won't and apps on facebook book don't work. I have tried to delete my cache and that didn't work. I even uninstalled flash player and java. None of these will load on internet explorer or firefox. Any ideas what the problem is?

Check to see that the ports are opened in your firewall. Also check your router to see if the ports are not being intentionally blocked.

Outgoing ports aren't blocked, so don't waste your time.

Java has nothing to do with your web browser (Javascript is part of the browser, it's not Java).

Run IE. Download Flash Player. Close IE. Install it. Run Firefox. Download Flash Player. Close Firefox. Install it. You get a different Flash Player for IE and for Firefox, so you have to download them both and install them both.

Your Flash is creating troubles for you.

* Run Reginout scan for active-x, file associations and other registry errors largely behind such crashes.

* Try to uninstall the current flash player version. Read this official guide to uninstall flash plug-in:

* Use official uninstaller tool to remove all flash elements from your computer.

* After completing the above task download flash player 9 instead of the latest version. Sometimes there are intricate browser flash conflicts and changing the versions is often helpful.

* Update your sound drivers if possible since the videos may simply crash because of the corrupted or missing drivers.

1) Open Device Manager

2) Find the sound-card device

3) Remember the name of the device

4) Uninstall it.

5) After doing this restart your system.
