Answer» Hello! I have a problem...my Dell Inspiron laptop is in the habit of suddenly refusing to PLAY videos on Youtube, Google Video, or any other site. And by suddenly, I mean that I will be able to watch videos absolutely fine for a while, but then (i.e. if I open up a different video or pause the current video and then try to resume it) the video will not work...and after that one instance, no videos will work. If I am using Firefox, it says that the Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed after 45 seconds. If I am on IE, the entire page just freezes when I try to watch any video. If I shut my computer down for a while and then return, I will be able to watch videos for a while, but then they stop working again. This has happened two nights in a row. What can I do?

Hello!

I have a problem...my Dell Inspiron laptop is in the habit of suddenly refusing to PLAY videos on Youtube, Google Video, or any other site. And by suddenly, I mean that I will be able to watch videos absolutely fine for a while, but then (i.e. if I open up a different video or pause the current video and then try to resume it) the video will not work...and after that one instance, no videos will work. If I am using Firefox, it says that the Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed after 45 seconds. If I am on IE, the entire page just freezes when I try to watch any video. If I shut my computer down for a while and then return, I will be able to watch videos for a while, but then they stop working again. This has happened two nights in a row. What can I do?
