I’ve got a few screen shots i saved and pasted into Word but for some reason i can’t save them as photos and don’t know how i can just load the screen shots/Word file on here, but here’s a copied and pasted version of what i get when i go on YouTube. I’ve never seen this before…all i get is text on the whole screen, and whenever i click a link to a video, the video player never shows up, but rather just all the text garbage.

your browser isn’t fully loading the page. Out of curiosity are you running Firefox with ad-block plus? ---

sounds more like a mime type problem if its just displaying text for the videos. ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > CSS isn’t loading > > clear all private data and reboot That’s what I figured, that maybe he used adblock to accidentally block the CSS. If this is true look for the file in your adblock that ends with .css and unblock it. ---

Um i have no idea what any of you are talking about… The same problem is occurring when i try using Internet Explorer too… I don’t know what the eff CSS is, or any of the other mumbo jumbo you’re all mentioning. I haven’t changed a thing regarding blocks on certain sites…this just started happening out of nowhere a week or so ago. Can somebody put in retard terms what i have to click, where i can find what i need to click, in what sequence to do said clicking, etc…? I’ve said it in many threads, i’m NOT computer savvy…I’m a psych graduate on a forum of IT guys lol, so flame on…you’re only displaying/projecting your own insecurities 😛 ---

I’ve said it in many threads, i’m NOT computer savvy…I’m a psych graduate on a forum of IT guys lol, so flame on…you’re only displaying/projecting your own insecurities 😛 First off CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, which basically describes how a page should look. The headers should be blue, the text should be white, the background should be black etc. Often times if the CSS gets blocked somewhere, it will display pages like you’ve posted, where everything is just text and no colors, backgrounds etc. Head over to [adobe.com](http://adobe.com) and make sure you have the latest version of flash player first. Have you installed anything recently, prior to this happening? If so try uninstalling it. If you are on Windows XP and installed service pack 3 try uninstalling that also. A lot of people, myself included have had trouble with SP3. If you haven’t done a windows update in a while try doing on of those, but if offered I reccomend not installing Service Pack 3 if you are on XP. Reboot and try again. ---

I did recently download some new version of Adobe reader…but i don’t see how a NEWER version of something would cause something that worked not to work any more? ---

Ran the uninstall for Adobe 9.0 and restarted computer…now the page all looks normal, but when i open any video it doesn’t auto-play…and when i go to manually click play, nothing happens for a sec, and then on the video screen i get an error saying “an error has occurred, please try again later” ---

flash player. go to the link billysrevenge posted and install that. before the method of viewing the page might have been changed to no style instead of basic page style so go to the view menu just to make sure thats on the right setting. ---

Did both those things…flash player install did nothing, restarted computer again after doing it…still not playing any videos.
