Hey all, just downloaded google chrome and its amazing its improved my laptops performance and everything but ive just found that it wont let me watch videos on youtube whereas my old explorer will. does any1 know how i can get it to work? i realy dont want to have to use my old explorer at all because it slows my laptop down to a halt. Please help

 

btw i have the lastest Adobe's Flash Player and my JavaScript is turned on

 

Its in BETA mate, which means its a work in progress.

If some things dont appear to work then it will more than likely work in the next update.

I havent actually tried it myself as im happy on firefox, but have you actually tried firefox? its faster than I.E, its been out ALOT longer than chrome so everything works in firefox like it does in I.E except its alot faster and more customizable

 

cant say i've tryed anything else other than I.E always 4t it was a waste of time but woow was I mistaken i used to hate going on the laptop to do something but now its just as easy to use as my comp it runs nearly as fast. but thanks for the heads up I might just try it and see how it goes.

Cheers

 

yeah try it, only a small download and if you dont like it uninstall it

Theres even some screenshots on that site to show what it looks like

 

Youtube works on my Chrome install.

 

Chrome is alot faster than Firefox but until Chrome comes out of beta and the developers fold to pressure and port Firefox extensions across or come up with there own then I'll be sticking with Firefox until then.

 

Oh right well, do you know what it could be stoping me from viewing videos?

 

What do you get on the page. Just a box with out vids?

 

nope ill paste it in here you go.... "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player".

but youtube plays though my old i.e. Any ideas?

 

Try downloading the newest version of flashplayer then

 

Iv have flash player 11 and to my knowledge it is the newest or am I mistaken? I downloaded it early when I discovered it wasn't working.

 

Youtube works fine for me on chrome too so it must be something with your setup.

 

Try uninstalling and reinstalling chrome maybe

 

I havent had any problems with youtube as of yet but i have found that if you try to do a search using the % sign mine just crashes and dissapears!

 

The problem I had with chrome is that is wouldn't let me scroll back up after I'd scrolled down a web page, I had to either use the arrows or pg up. Rather annoying tbh.

Although I did like the incognito option lol.

I'll stay with FF3 for the time being until they have ironed out the little problems.

 

still a beta but check chromes task manager to see if flash starts up when you enter youtube ect a lot still to come from it, but it does have a good chance of being a very good browser..... but until full release it will take alot to get me away from FF
